While there are many stereotypes regarding adoption the one that truly irritates me the most is...

I can handle the ones that make me out to be a crackhead, an alcoholic or a floozy.
The one that irritates me the most was that I didn't love my child enough to parent her, that I'm cold-hearted.
For me it's that I should be "grateful" for the fact that the adoptive parents "let" me see my bson.
Another one is that because I have an open adoption that I don't have a reason to be sad.
Ditto the lucky bit. I don't think I am lucky that I "get" to hear about DD, it's what was discussed when I placed as something we would both like to do. I DO feel lucky however that DD's a-mom feels it is important to honor that, because I've seen it here too many times where a lot of people don't feel the same way.
Biggest misconception? That I gave away my child like I gave old clothes to charity. (maybe that's why I have a closet full of old clothes I cant bring myself to part with......)
