[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 244363"] I too applaud the honesty here. I am also a parent of an adopted child. There have been moments, moreso in recent years, that I have also felt a certain bias AGAINST adopting parents. It's not extreme, but it is there. It concerns me when adults, adopted as children, find their birthfamilies and then chose to ignore the families who raised, cared and loved them. These are their real families. A mature adult birthparent, would understand this, and at the very least, would look to encourage a cooperative relationship. For me, adoption has changed me significantly...in some positive ways and in some not so positive ones. It has been difficult and not always easy to explain. It is a sensitive, complicated and hard subject. I've had twenty years of tired. As best as I can...I am moving forward. MWM....sending you lots of good wishes and support. [/QUOTE]
