Why Can't They Just Appreciate A Good Home?

This has been a week of "Why can't they just appreciate having a good home?"  Five of those comments came from women who have adopted one or more children who are under age 13.  Women I suspect have given a baby up for adoption made two comments.  One women seems to have never had children.

The best I could tell them was to start reading the web sites and blogs that are about adoption to try to get a feel for what adoptees are feeling.  But you know what, one cannot "make" someone understand.  Each person has to get to that point with education and some never do.  Come on if anyone is reading this and make comments with your feelings.  We can make a difference, but it will take all of us working together.

Until next time,
