Not illegal nor immoral

Thanks, LT,

Your response about "how righteous some people are" made me realize how many people in my life have tried to make me believe that there is something wrong, perhaps morally wrong, with my feelings. It also made me realize how morally wrong they are to express their feelings, since usually "they are not an adoptee, a birthparent or an adoptive parent." I quit justifying but felt bad about doing so -- somewhat rebellious, which is not me. Your comments have freed me to continue to feel and to search without guilt.

Mary Grace, I agree. The "death" is harder because the biological parents choose to "die." Sometimes, in war for example, someone will choose to die to save the lives of their buddies. Maybe the choice was an awful one but it was the best choice they had.

LewEllen, now I know why I search. I've got to know why this 128 pound girl (me) wears a size 11 shoe (lol). Very good point!
