NO! I am NOT gratful I am adopted-I AM FURIOUS I AM ADOPTED AND HAD TO GO THROUGHT HT EHLL EVERYDAY FOR 18 YEARS WONDERING WHAT MY MOMS NAME WAS, WHO SHE WAS, WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE, WHAT HER VOICE SOUNDED LIKE, IF SHE WAS DEAD OR ALIVE, and I have to say I HATE the adoption industry for putting me through that-I was never happy, I was always nervous and depressed and another issue that rarely comes up about adoption is that you know we DO wonder if our parents are dead-and since we do not know and are told we CANNOT know, do you have any idea what that does to a kid? Part of us greives like our moms are dead, because since we are not told, we greive in case they are-so alot of our childhood is mouring our could be dead mothers? Do you think that is healthy? And as far as this "grateful" crap is concerned, that is a condesending comment constructed out of predjudice towards "bastards" and you know well know it. It says that is what you get so feel shame for being born out of wedlock. We should feel grateful.........pfft.......PLEASE, for what, for being told we can NOT know our real parents names because adoption agencys wanted that so they could adopt out more babies and adoptive parents would not hesitate to adopt because they were afraid our moms would find us? And that IS the truth, and all you damn agency's know it-that whole birth mothers privacy bs is cover deep deep well of deception and Christians, and everyone who continue to perpetuate this lie as I said before are going to hell.
OK..Maybe grateful does sound condescending, I did not mean it to be..but I can see your point there. It is obvious that you were not treated how you deserved to be as a child and for that I"m truly sorry. There are definitely things int the adoption practice that are mesed up, but I hope you can understand that adoption as a whole is not necessarily a bad thing, at least not for all adopted children. I'm truly sorry for the abuse you have suffered and hope you are able to heal someday. NO child deserves to be treated the way you were.
