I am an adult who was raised in an open adoption!!!

Just a reminder, also, you've made a lot of really offensive generalizations in your posts about several sides of the triad. While we do value members sharing their experiences and talking about how their adoption has impacted them - we don't like to see sweeping generalizations made about the motivations of others. Some of your comments about adoptive parents and birthparents are pretty offensive and only feed into the stereotype surrounding adoption.
