I am very open about my journey as a birth mother, and I tell my story quite often. I am always glad to answer questions and share details of I'm asked. The problem I have is that sometimes friends or family will share my story without my permission. This is fine if it's for a good reason, such as using my story to illustrate a point promoting adoption. But sometimes they may not have all the facts straight, or be introducing me to someone and the first thing they share is my adoption story. I love adoption, but it is not all that I am and sometimes I prefer not to discuss it with certain people. How can I help the people I'm close to understand this without offending them?
