[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 702978, member: 1550"] My son lived in an Asian country in an orphanage for six years. He was proud of his heritage and married a woman who helped him disown us and she is of the same heritage. He speaks fluent Mandarin although he had forgotten his native language of Cantanese. He goes to and does business in China. I loved him like my own and to me he was my own. Not to him. He is friends with his half sisters and biological mother on Face Book. I'm sure he has met them and I am happy for that. He needed that, I think. I am not angry or sad much anymore. I haven't seen him more than once in over ten years. He and his wife were so vile the one time I was allowed to see him that I drove away knowing it was over it had been like seeing a stranger. I have four other kids, three adopted, and have had no attachment issues with them at all and they are also different races, but they came at young ages. They (*other adopted kids) are well adjusted and we are close. Although they are grown and gone they call me more than once a week. I choose to give my heart to those who can love me back. I have let Goneboy, as I call him, live his life without us. I tried at first but it just made worse. It is what it is. [/QUOTE]
