anyone here adoppted?

Do you really think it's a nice idea to ask?

Er... you could be a little more subtle, **Tonks**.

Adoption is a very.... controversial topic, I think. I haven't been through it myself, but I have been through the pain of a family that has had to give up a child for adoption. My brother has a daughter who he fought very hard for custody of, but in the end, he knew he wasn't going to win and he let her go. She was adopted late last year. I think she's 3 years old now.

I have two cousins who are adopted. My aunt and uncle weren't able to have children of their own for some reason but they wanted to raise children. I have nothing against adoption. I don't believe that parents have to be blood related. Parents are those who tuck you in at night and love you nomatter what and help you when you need help in school. Those are what a parent really is, it doesn't have to be blood related.

Also, if a blood related parent tries to get their child back after the child was raised for a few years with an adopted family, the blood parent shouldn't get the child back. I heard a case about this in which the blood parent won and got her child back after adopted parents raised the child for 3 years (the child was 3 years old and the mother gave up the child willingly at the child's birth) I believe it us unfair for the adopting family for the child to be taken away from them after they put in all the effort of raising the child as their own. There is also the child to consider... the child is used to the adopted parents and are calling them mom and dad. then in the child's point of view, a stranger takes him or her away from mom and dad... that is not fair to the child.

If I found out that I was adopted I would be annoyed that I was never told especialy becasue of what my mum says.

If I ever adopt a child I would let them know. It's better than them finding out on their own. There would be more problems if you did not tell them and they ound out.

I am not adopted but my cousin was.....But i would imagine it could probably be a Sensative subject for adopted people i dunno


I wouldnt be able to tell.....My cousin she never really ever talked about it so i wouldnt know what adopted people think of the subject....

the only adopted people i know is A- a girl on my soccer team and B- my firneds brother was adopted but they both know aobut it...

Not many people I know are adopted. Except one of my friends brother, I think.
