I was reading another forum (not posting just reading) and there was a discussion about some woman needing to produce her own DNA replicas after the age of 40. So the topic went to the overpopulation and then the adoption topic. The DNA proponants attacked the adoption issue with "no parent can ever love an adopted child as much as they would love their own"
The poster had several people who agreed with this remark.
As an adopted child who was loved by her parents (I call them parents plain and simple because they WERE the ones who raised me.. and I have no need or want to find out my bio parents) I found this remark so insulting.
My dh wasn't adopted and his parents were never parents to him like mine were to me. They were not loving and supportive and, though he was raised to be polite (as most of us were back in the day) they never spent time with him or EVER told him they loved him. My parents were very loving and always there for me.
I know others here were adopted... so how do you all feel?

I think I understand you and I agree.Quote

I feel the opposite way. I feel that people who produced a child will have a more difficult time loving the child than the one who was adopted. Why? Because having a baby is easy. Adopting is not. In the face of adversity, for love to prevail, It must be genuine love. Mind I did not say that biological parents cannot love their children, it's that their love is more implied than the love of an adopted child. It is assumed. Whereas it isn't for an adopted child. I'm having difficulty being able to explain it but I think I'm onto something.
