I...Thank you for responding and publishing my post. It is a mixed bag adoption is. You never know what your going to get. I can see myself, where it is considered cute and does get the message out there that kids need homes. Adoption can be a wonderful thing. It is however hard for some of us at times to be reminded. <BR/><BR/>I hold no malice toward ethically adoptive parents, my daughters life was as good as it gets because of hers. <BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that most adoptees are compliant to others at the cost of their own feelings. By this I mean that even if someone didn't like your shirt they might say that they did because they knew it would make you happy. This is not to say that that is what happened in your particular instance, but rather to draw your attention to what lengths some adoptees will go to please others.<BR/><BR/>Thanks againLori Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941584141149840911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555494885427182657.post-6649900124166175242008-07-17T08:03:00.000-07:002008-07-17T08:03:00.000-07:00Hi. I just wanted to stop by your page, and let yo...Hi. I just wanted to stop by your page, and let you know that I did publish your comment. I thank you for getting your feelings out with respect and consideration for my excitement. You were tactfull and nice about how you feel and I do respect your feelings. If it helps at all to know, I will share with you that I had no intensions of hurting anyones feelings by wearing that shirt.. and believe it or not, It was bought for me from a good friend who happens to be adopted. So you can probably imagine why I had no idea it would creat such an uproar. I have only worn the shirt one time and it was for an event that was held at my home with friends and family who support our decision to adopt. There were also a few other people there that day, who were adopted either at a young age or at birth and they made a point to come up to me and tell me how cute my shirt is.. so again, I had no idea it would get this kind of reaction. I do apologize for any hurt feelings. Until recently, I also had no idea that any one viewed the blog other than friends and family... <BR/><BR/>Best Wishes, KristiWaiting Parentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750691870147081829noreply@blogger.com
