I have a dear friend who I care about very much. As much as I treasure my relationship with this person, they simply do not understand adoption. I have tried to explain three or four times that birth parents are not horrible or irresponsible, and that adoptive parents aren't just taking people's babies. I don't know how to explain any better than I already have, and it's getting emotionally draining for me. Adoption is such a big part of my life, so I can't simply not discuss it with people I am close to. My question is, at what point with them stubbornly not trying to understand is it necessary to cut off contact? I don't want to lose my friendship, but I don't know if I can handle feeling so drained anymore.
