You just can't imagine it today, but then as you say the reasons behind most adoptions are now so different. No matter the reason I feel it's so important to honour your child's identity through openness and support any needs they have to explore their past in an age appropriate way. <br /><br />Thanks for linking up with the Weekly Adoption Shout OutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408936902703314671.post-81292862146920789772013-02-15T14:58:54.033-08:002013-02-15T14:58:54.033-08:00Interesting paralells here - I need to write my st...Interesting paralells here - I need to write my story in my blog!

Other than I have seen my adoption papers - and know my original identity (and name!).<br /><br />I chose not to seek contact with my 'natural' parents, and I don't regret that - even though it could have been interesting, given that I have a half brother somewhere and a Hispanic American father! I suppose I felt that the potential for everything going disastrously wrong was just too great, and on balance, I had a good experience of adoption, which I appreciate isn't the same for everyoneMerseymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231364271812168188noreply@blogger.com
