I think it is probably natural that those of us who journey the difficult road to parenthood - acompanied by mounds of paperwork and not a small amount of judgement and scrutiny - would also be interested in helping people in similar circumstances - and especially children.

Not all of us are adoptive parents. I am a birthparent. Having trained people in open adoption all over the country, I can tell you it was fairly rare to find a birthparent working in the field. They are out there though. I think it is important that birthparents be represented in the adoption community including being on agency boards, doing counseling and continuing educating others about the birthparent experience in adoption.
