I guess since I started down the road of adoption, I have been guilty of thinking that adoptees are experts - but I guess it's more accurate to say that I think they/you are experts MUCH more than those who have been touted to be experts in the past - adoptive parents and adoption professionals. However, I also believe that it isn't your (collective) responsibility to educate adoptive parents! (And for that matter, thinking that one adoptee can speak for all is just ignorant/erroneous from the ground up).<BR/><BR/>You are so right with your observation of what goes on on adoption forums. It's unfortunate that we can just appreciate each adoptee's opinion in its own right, regardless of how it makes us feel. The one thing I can't stand, though, is that some voices are written off while others are accepted (by APs).zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235448506772834295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895055.post-67527724919551991312007-04-26T14:00:00.000-04:002007-04-26T14:00:00.000-04:00I hope that my child grows up to love life and emb...I hope that my child grows up to love life and embrace his adoption. If he doesn't, it's not for my lack of trying. I always try to remember that even biological children don't grow up and be completely thrilled with their lives or their parents...it's one of the things that can happen with any family adoptive or not.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946674315438271527noreply@blogger.com
