I'm not anti-adoption. I'm pro-education. I'm against pressuring mothers to give up their children... the choice should be theirs and theirs alone. I want a change in policies.I think that adoption, as it is today, SUCKS for most adoptees. And I think that if more AP's were educated on these issues that come up, adoptees would be a lot happier. (A lot of these issues are not the AP's fault. It's just cause and effect. Others ARE caused by AP's... when they don't want us to talk about our adoption. When they don't TELL us we're adopted until we're 18. When they give us guilt trips about finding our first families...) These are all things we shouldn't feel bad about, but that HAVE to be addressed.The mindset between the anti-adoption movement is powered by mothers who were forced or tricked into relinquishing their children, and the adoptees who have had bad experiences that could've been very easily avoided had their AP's been good parents and done what was best for them.The system sucks. If policies could be changed, EVERYBODY more educated, and a little more compassion involved in the process, I wouldn't be so anti-adoption.
