Reply #72: What? My feelings don't carry any weight? [View All]

But yours do because YOU have principals? I'm only the one who is adopted here. Right. That carries no weight at all. I'm just PROPERTY.

You know, now that I read more of your posts, I'm glad you feel the way you do. You'd never adopt a child. Thank goodness. For them.

Please don't reply to me anymore. It's Christmas. I want to feel LOVE today. I don't want to be told that I am PROPERTY because someone had the decency to make sure I was brought up in a loving and caring, safe and secure home. And they didn't make me feel like I was PROPERTY. You just did. Hope it makes you feel good.

And again, I was NOT ABANDONED. Everyone around me wanted me to have a SAFE, LOVING HOME. I would not have had that in the home of my birth, or in the extended birth family. I was handed FROM ARMS OF LOVE TO ARMS OF LOVE.

Why am I wasting my time trying to explain love to a person who can't possibly GET that part of the equation?

I'm going to go and enjoy Christmas with my loving family. And later I'll call my loving birth Mom and thank her for the Christmas present she sent to me. And I'm putting this entire thread on bye-bye because it's interfering with an otherwise wonderful day.
