The Question:Why do some people view it wrong for an Adoptive Parent to Claim their adopted child as their Own?As the mother of four children two biological and two adopted I have found there are a number of people who seem to feel I violate the 'rights' of my adopted children when I claim them as my Own.I have heard all the nasty statements about this sounding as if I somehow think my adopted children are possessions... Yet I have never once heard this in regard to my biological children.One Argument: My children have another Mother. Yes, they do they have another mother--and my older ones have a step-mother and are about to have mothers-in-law too--big deal!The implications to offenses taken when I claim my adopted children as my OWN is that I should treat them differently then the ones I gave birth... Would that be wise?My children have pictures, information and stories about their genetic roots my claiming them as my children does not change a thing.
