149. Wow. Either in PM or here, would you tell me a little about what...

you found?

I think one of the greatest problems for adopted children is that society tells them, "You're just lucky someone wanted you," which invalidates any emotional problems they might be having. I know in our case, we both felt like that from early on--that we shouldn't have any complaints about our family dynamics, because we were just lucky that we had a family that wanted us. And we had excellent parents--minus a few problems--but really good adoptive parents.

Does that make sense?
