[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 11643, member: 2315"] That family tree project is probably at the center of this. My grandson had to do it and it was horrid for his father. It brought up all the old stuff when he couldn't tell him what color eyes his birth mother had and all that stuff. I told my daughter to just put down all the information from her husbands adoptive family and let it go at that. I think this project should be banned for that reason. it stirrs up too many emotions for some kids and parents. Pretty much all adopted kids fantisize over they bio-families. I think you did good by not showing your hurt. It would give her too much power over you. I never let on how having those words shouted at me hurt my heart to my boys. I did speak about it to their theripists though. I actually had two therapist ask me why this would hurt me since it was completely normal. Well that is easy for them to say. It is hurtful to have put so much love and effort into a kid only to have them say they wished they were with the neglectful and abusive bio-parents they were rescued from. . [/QUOTE]
