What I find interesting is that I have been to seminars for work that was put on by an adoption agency that was basically a promotional seminar for adoption. They had testimonials designed to convince ppl that adoption is always the best choice & that adoptees never have any negative feelings about their birth parents. Thankfully, I’ve never been faced with that decision, but I always thought that at least some adoptees would have at least some feelings of rejection or resentment & I always thought part of that would affect my decision if I were ever in that position. But, at this conference, they basically tried to make it like that rarely, if ever, happens. Hearing some ppl’s comments like “you can’t hide” or “dirty little secret” makes me think it’s not always as rosy as this agency tried to make it sound.
