When I was a baby I was adopted into a great family. Often people ask me "how it feels to be adopted" or say "ohhh that sucks, I'm so sorry," but I feel blessed! Adoption saved me from a drug filled, poverty ridden life.
Is there anyone out there who was adopted and feels the same?

Yeah.I was adopted as soon as I was born.I'm thinkful everyday that i was adopted.my real mom lived with my adoptive for a few months before and after i was born because my mom lived in michigan and my adoptive parents in wv.
My mom did everything in the world to have a miscarriage.When I was a few months old I couldn't eat just a plain bottle because it didn't coat my stomach and every ounce came back up.So at only 1 month i had to eat ceral in my bottle.My bio mom would have let me starve.

I am not adopted, but my boss was and I know that she feels like you do. Her mother kept one child and gave 4 others up for adoption, but she was a terrible mother to the one she kept.
The ones that went to loving homes had such a better life. Tell people that it isn't their business in the first place and then tell them it was the best gift you were ever given. Two loving parents who chose you and cared for you. That is a lot more than many biological children get!!

I was not adopted, bu I very much believe in adoption. I am firmly against abortion and I feel this is a wonderful alternative to abortion. Many, many barren couples long for a child. Adoption fills a void in people lives. It is a huge blessing!

While I wasn't adopted, I must say that I agree with you. I don't understand how people can pity you and your situation, when if you were not adopted, you could be out there in the streets fending for yourself. If they saw you in that situation, they would probably pity you more, so it doesn't really make sense. And it's not like your family doesn't love you as much just because you were adopted.

Im not adopted but i have friend who is and she feels the same. There is a family out there that wanted her and took care of all her needs. She is not sure what life she would have had otherwise but she is happy with what she has now and wouldn't want to change it.

We should view adoption as a loving choice for everyone. It is a loving choice for the birth mother because she has options and recognizes that the best thing to do is carry the baby and then find it a loving home. It is a loving choice for the adoptive parents because they have options too, and they are choosing to become parents by accepting a nonbiological child as their own.

i dont think im adopted, but my parents adopted two children, one boy and girl. the girl was adopted first because her dad was a drunk, and her mom was living in the streets..:(
my mom had an ectopic pregnancy and lost my brother, i think she also suffered some mental distress that time, and it just so happens again a woman was putting her son up for adoption..we got him and his skin was slightly peeling (meaning he was growing up or getting fatter) and he was so young.
now he shares my pc--whenever i feel like it..lol
yes we saved them from a life of drug abuse, prostitution, crimes. you are definitely lucky. there are so many kids out there and i have a child myself, i sometimes wish i had enough money to help but i dont..its a sad fact of life..that not everybody gets to be helped, but the ones that are helped, are blessed, and the ones who helped, are blessed too..my dad keeps telling me this, because we've been away from bad thigns that could happen to a family, example accidents, depressions, drug addictions, etc..
dont mind those people..they dont know any better.

i wasn't adopted but i was raised by my grandmother. and i agree with you, i'm happy that my mother first of all, didn't abort me and second of all, that she had the common sense to let my grandmother raise me cuz unfortunately, my sisters weren't that fortunate. they were all molested. my sister also put up 2 of her kids for adoption cuz she knew she couldnt provide for them since she was unmarried and currently on welfare with 3 other kids! i admire her greatly for that sacrifice.... she could've done the selfish thing and aborted them but then she would've suffered emotionally and psychologically as well.
