[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 221308, member: 6370"] MWM, when difficult child 2 told a classmate in 4th grade that he was adopted he was shocked when she took two steps back and said "oh! I'm so sorry!". Before that moment it hadn't occurred to him that there was anything "wrong" with being adopted. Now where do you think she got that from? From listening to family, friends and the media. Adoption horror stories make for good press. We all have had to overcome grief and loss, it's part of life. I, for one, wish my parents had adopted me out. I realized at an early age that I was in the way of my parents' partying lifestyle. My mother used to whip me with a cat o' nine tails (perfectly legal in France at the time) and demanded complete submission. I couldn't fantasize about some perfect biomom out there who would have treated me with love because she was right there, abusing me. Biomom has cost me THOUSANDS of dollars in therapy and slandered me to every one she knew. You'd better believe that, had I been adopted by her, people would not have been so ready to believe her lies. [/QUOTE]
