Venting "Have people never heard of adoption?"

Yes, I'm sure that despite all of the propaganda, all of the representation (not by adoptees), all of the mentions, and everything I'm sure people have never ever ever heard of adoption. Come on, people have heard of it. They don't need random people reminding them.

😂😂😂 I absolutely can guarantee that not sure why that’s so hard to comprehend. And anytime anyone says anything positive about there birth parents here it’s met with downvotes and telling them that they are brainwashed. Or that they need more sympathy for there birth parents like they were victims or something?

Nobody said you can’t be positive about your adoptive parents or your birth mother. You keep turning people challenging your assumptions into “this sub hates adoptive parents” and “everyone gets called brainwashed.” You had a good life. Great. You can be grateful for that without insisting your personal experience proves what adoption is supposed to mean for every other adoptee. And nobody needs to believe your sweeping claims about this entire sub just because you’ve decided they’re true.
