[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 470728, member: 1550"] My daughter Jumper, who is amazingly well adjusted, all the same told me "Adoption itself is a special need. You are different and you think about it and feel like you were just thrown in the trash." This is in spite of knowing a lot about her birthmother, seeing pictures, and not having any mental health issues (odd for an adopted child). I agree with her. Adopted kids don't just forget they are adopted. Until they come to resolution, which in some cases means reunion, it is a big part of their lives. So giving a child up for adoption by an adopted kid who knows...that is probably a harder decision. Grown children make decisions on their own anyway. It is our job, in my opinion, to support their decisions, especially the hard ones, not tell them what to do. [/QUOTE]
