Thread Name: Adoption issues. Early Understanding
Subject: RE: Adoption issues. Early Understanding
I certainly admire what Heather is doing. Even in this day and age, adoption still carries a "stigma" and any education that can be done to take that away is a plus.

Not all adoptions are happy stories and not all are tales of sadness. One of the biggest strikes against adoptees and their adoptive parents comes from lack of knowledge and misinformation based on years of either outright or hidden bigotry toward adoption in this culture. Educating children to the nature of adoption at an early age is a project worthy of great effort and I have great admiration for the fine work Heather is doing.
