Adoptees are discounted as a group when they want to know identifying information on their original parents. Their experiences are often discounted. As adults they are still "adopted children". <BR/><BR/>My ap's at first did not in fact want me, but when they thought about it, saw that I needed a home, they took me in and loved me. My foster family wanted me too. My mother couldn't accept me; my father wouldn't accept me. I was mixed race and a complicated child for that reason. I was difficult to place. I didn't easily find a place in the world. <BR/><BR/>I was and I wasn't wanted.Mark Diebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197749527182706761noreply@blogger.com
