Recently I've asked some questions regarding my reunification with my birthmother (I was adopted at a few weeks old), and the way in which it has being going very negatively. She has, among other things, demanded I cut my parents out of my life, and ignored 3 of my 6 kids because they're not bio kids. I have tried to work with her, encourage her to seek help, etc, but to no avail unfortunately.
Now to my question. As a foster parent, and someone who has worked as a family liason officer, I'm no stranger to adoption horror stories. But I was shocked at the number of people who blamed adoption in and of itself for my birthmother's issues. I understand that a lot of people have suffered a great deal of pain from adoption, and I'm so sorry for them. But sometimes people make their own choices, right or wrong, and adoption certainly isn't always wrong or harmful. So why do so many people still seem to blame adoption itself? I was just looking for an insight, thanks.
