I want to know how it is that everybody seems to know somebody who was adopted, yet shows like The Forgotten last night make such stupid comments about it. Somebody should have spoken up! Rest assured, I am real. My husband is real. My children are real, and so is my love for them. We are Braden’s “real family.” The media needs to get it right! Anybody else catch that?

Saw that on an episode of “Goss.ip Girl” two weeks ago . . . of course the long lost son (placed for adoption at birth) comes back and the brilliant writers have him utter the line “I want to get to know my real parents.” I guess the folks who loved, clothed, fed, and wiped his nose for the past 20 yrs were conveniently FORGOTTEN by the a-hole writers.
I was similarly pissed when Mic.hael J.ackson died and the media kept screaming that “he might not even be THE REAL father” of those three kids. Okay, I think he was a whack job in his later years, but if you say his daughter get choked up at the memorial and sob “Daddy was the best Daddy in the world,” there was no doubt who THE REAL FATHER was.
Grrrr.

You can’t cure stupid.
For cripes sake it is almost 2010..hasn’t everyone in the world learned that parenting has nothing to do with merely giving birth?
UGH!

I don’t think most of the world will ever get it. I get asked about my real parents all the time. It is frustrating.

I’m adopted. My parents are the people that rocked me when i cried, changed my diapers, nurtured me, punished me, hugged me, loved me, pushed me, and stood by me….
I’ve known my birth mother my entire life. Even knowing her and the circumstances she isnt my mother. I appreciate her putting my needs as a child first, and I have a love for her.
Not the love i have for Mom & Dad.
Adoption is a beautiful amazing thing!!
