I was just wondering if there were any studies on if a parent who was given up for adoption was in any way diffrent from a biological raised person. I know they have found that depresion is large in adopted kids even the ones that are not told along with many other side affects that is why i was wondering.

That would be interesting to see. My DH and his brother and sister are all adoptees and I actually have to say that they are all extremely "in tune" with their kids and wonderful parents.
I often feel like DH is a much better parent than I am...totally patient (not easy with a 2 year old!).

That's great, Gypsy Rose. I don't know what it is and this is a HUGE stereotype, but I think a lot of adoptees tend to be really "sensitive" to the needs of others (sometimes at a cost to their own needs!). Maybe that's what helps make a great parent!

I am not a father yet, but I can tell you, as an adoptee, my need for being a father runs deep as I never want my kids to experience what I have. I also want my own family so maybe I'll finally have a place I belong.

And she seemed to be pretty much the same as any other grandmother (or mother according to my mom). And since she had 8 kids and 43 grandkids, she had a lot of practice.

What's it like to have kids?
Everyone (my [adoptive] parents in particular) talks about how incredible it is, would anyone say it's more powerful for adoptees?
I just wonder if I'm going to have kids and experience a type of bond that I haven't had as I don't have any blood relatives.

Wow you will hopefully experience an amazing bond. I do with my son and it is wonderful. I think it just might be more powerful for adoptees since we do not have any one that (at least for me) we bonded with in a way a child bonds to their birthparents, if that makes any sense. I just recently reunited with my birth mother and besides my son I have never felt such a strong bond as I do with her. I hope you can experience having a child so you know what such a strong bond feels like.

I hope that anyone who want's a child has one. For us adoptees i think it is a little bit more of a strong bond where as they are (offten) the only blood relitives we know.
