adoption......

[Sarah Lynn Eason]

Adoption ....... ever had the whole birthday party situation happen to you? Something..... worse? I would like to discuss your views on the subject.

What is the whole "birthday party" situation? I'm not adopted, but I'll be adopting sometime in the not-so-distant future.

i am adopted. what is it that you'd like to discuss? I have no idea what you mean by the "whole birthday party situation"; perhaps you care to explain or only looking for replies from those "in the know"

I apologize because I wasn't clear. Have you ever been told you were adopted on your birthday? It might seem offensive to you as well, but I am just curious as to see if it happens in real life.

[NessLikeWhoa]

yes. I found out I was adopted on my birthday but only because I asked my grandmother straight up why my dad was black, my siblings were all dark but I wasn't. And she told me on my eleventh birthday.

ok. I just wondered if it happened in real life. Thank you so much for sharing!
