This is one of the silliest things I've ever read, its not about
"medical history" but it might be, its not about "inherited mental
disorder" but it might be...and for any thinking, reasoning human
it sure is NOT about the "candy coated romance novel relationship"
thing.LOL

In my case, its about curiousity if my bparents were immagrants, I
still know WHAT they are, if my bparents died in a car crash I still
know what THEY are, but, to have been adopted is entirely different,
there is a desire, maybe, to know what the heck went on, what the heck
do my bparents look like and maybe, just maybe(who really knows)
some sort of relationship as ADULTS (and why not).
 As we know from many fine women here on a.a, some have reliquished
and gone on and had family's, and would actually LIKE to have contact,
some were even told they WOULD and don't so what kind of desire do
they have for contact?  Having my children made me realize how tough a
decision reliquishing would be, for most people, and thats what fueled
the fire for my search.....abortion? Yeah right!

You didn't answer that question.
Does your boss know you use paid time to
shriek online how you wish my mother had aborted me?
Ya know, that really calls into question your stability.
Writing a post takes a certain amount of time and focussed
effort, unlike saying something.  Certainly all of us say
thing we later regret, but to have such poor impulse control
as to write some of the shit YOU do, well, do you ever yell
at your alleged child how you wish YOU had aborted when you
get stressed out?

That's trolling.
In fact, that is an egregious violation of netiquette, and
may ISPs don't like it very much.
Since you are using a work account, it might be in your
best interests to be a bit more circumspect.

Heretic, you have to learn to C-O-U-N-T the chevrons. You know those
little arrows in front of what I wrote and what Beckie wrote. The
person you are replying to gets one chevron, the person before them
gets two and so on. Got it now? Yes? Good.

I have read some notes from those who did seem to have the "candy coated
romance novel" mentality and who exercised at least a modicum of
"thinking, reasoning".  Adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents
come in all varieties:  why would there not be a few of the "candy
coated" variety?  And what does it matter?  The bottom line is equality
and civil rights for all whether rational or totally pixilated.
When Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, I don't recall any
sanity test prereq.  Ditto with the Magna Carta.  These are
one-size-fits-all documents, and so should an Adoptee Emancipation Proc.
be available to all, equally and without hindrances of any kind.  Our
government must issue the equivalent of an adoptee eman. proc, or we
must be honest and say that adoption is a form of slavery, extending not
just for the adoptee's natural life, but well into his/her children's
lives.

Not all adoptees have that wish.  Some truly couldn't care less or
actively and totally REJECT the idea of search/reunion, but all must
have the RIGHT to search and know, if they wish.  As recently as the
1960s, there were some Blacks who considered the Civil Rights struggle
their foe, a potential danger.  Civil rights for Blacks prevailed, and
so shall civil rights for adoptees, just as voting rights for women
became law despite vigorous opposition from men and women.

Best wishes.                                                Sue T.

 I think that statement is just *a little* over the top Sue.  I agree with you
for the most part, but please don't start comparing adoption to slavery- it is
just not so.  The intent is different, and the outcome is different- almost all
of the time.
