I have a friend who was adopted. She was an only child and both of her adoptive parents had passed away. She managed to find her birth family, and altho her birth mother also was dead, she now has half brothers and sisters and cousins all of whom never knew she existed. It turned out wonderful for her (it could have turned out badly tho).
I don’t think any of us can judge this stuff if we aren’t in the situation. I don’t know what it would feel like to wake up one day and discover that the people I thought were my parents weren’t. I can’t imagine I would love them less but I suspect I would have a great deal of curiosity about the people who WERE. I simply don’t think those who are not in that position can tell those who are how they should feel.
If you noticed, I already said that I wasn't adopted, therefore my opinion was irrelevant.
I wasn't judging. I was asking them to think of whether finding some biological parent is that important an issue for them, or whether it's the heat of the moment. (such as the case in this type of group action)
Ah, yes.... but when has that ever stopped FReepers from offering their commandments from on high?
