I am also glad to hear these stories of true happiness and love and bonding with the aparents. As an adoptee I did not have that because my aparents weren't good parents. They did do the best with what they knew and I love them for everything they are and are not. My daughter however, had the best aparents and loves them tremendously and has had a great life. So the story goes... good and bad parents come in adoption as well as birth. The following quote sums it up...

I think as long as you are honest about their adoption, give them their "birth stories" about when they first come in to your lives, and love them with sheer abandon, they cannot resent you for being the best mom you could be to them.

I think if 'adoptive' parents (I have to say I agree with disliking the lables) follow those rules... there couldn't and wouldn't be resentment.
Thank you for sharing...
