Tuesday Fun Thread for June 12
If you were giving a talk to people on adoption, what 3 most important things would you tell them?
I will start: 1. When discussing adoption , your wording makes a difference. All members of the triad must be considered and respected. What may not sound hurtful to you, can affect others greatly. 2. Not every adoption is picture perfect nor is every one a Montel moment. Every story is unique and everyone can learn something from the stories of all members of the adoption triad. 3. As an adoptee, I would like people to know that my afamily is my "real" family. Blood is not always thicker than water.

1) All Birthmother's are not alike
2) Just because a child is relinquished doesn't mean the child is forgotten. 3) It is possible to love a child you did not parent.

1. no two adoptions are alike
2. adoption is a never ending web of emotions on all sides and there are no clear cut solutions or answers to our "issues" 3. if we talk about it openly it may lighten the burden of the reality of the situation (at least on the part of the adoptee)
