This is an excellent post. As an adoptive mom I have to agree with everything that Wraith has written. Especially the love unconditionally part which is not always easy but always necessary. It is hard not to take the anger personally that my daughters feel. But what is worse is listening to adoptive parents who just do not get or care or believe that their child suffers any pain at all from being separated from their birthparents. There are a few adoptive parents I’d like to print this out and share with but not sure I’m brave enough too. Thanks for sharing. Christine
