Unlike many adopted kids (and grown ups) I've never felt "unlucky" because I was adopted, quite the opposite. I was adopted by the two greatest people I've ever met, my mother and father. I call them "Mom and Dad".
Which brings me to this blog. The one, sure fire way to really irritate adopted kids/parents/whatever is to ask if we want to meet our "Real Parents" I know this is done in ignorance and not meant to hurt. Truth be told-it doesn't hurt me, it irritates me.
Like all step parents and people who raise their non-bioloogical children, I feel like your "real parents" are those who raised you, took care of you and suffered for you.
I have met my biological mother and we do have a relationship. My biological father is deceased.
Adoption truly is the greatest thing in the world. Not to get political here again, but I wish more women chose adoption over abortion. I've spoken to other adopted kids, and as bad as their lives were, none of us would prefer death as the alternative.
