Is ignorance of truth self-inflicted?
Is it self inflicted ignorance if someone forms their opinion on skewed facts? Is it self inflicted ignorance if someone chooses to only believe what they have come to know from their own personal experience while disregarding the experiences of others?
Can the family on this board understand that there are as many different stories as in that are adopted people?
Why is it that certain inhabitants seem to want to start trouble by asking baited questions?
As an adopt person, I find it hard to swallow that someone who has have to deal with being adopt is so quick to judge other people's pain and voice that it is the fault of the person who suffering.
Why can't the people who are bright and breezy with their adoption recognize that we aren't all that lucky?
I honestly believe the one you are referring to has her own issues. I really own not seen someone *so happy* feel the need to cram their safety down everyone elses throat.
I grasp where you are coming from completely and I know of at least one person you are referring to (judging by the word "self-inflicted" which have come up in a couple other questions).
Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone accepted that everyone has a different natural life story and adoption is not black & white? I wish to God that this could be true.
In regards to your question in the region of people who are happy with their adoption recognize that everyone is not so lucky...I agree. I am one of the "happy" adoptees and believe all of us "happy" adoptees should accept that not all adoption work out for the best. On the flip side though, I would also like it if the "happy" adoptees weren't dismissed as being "in the fog" or "not really knowing/acknowledging their issues" purely because we didn't enjoy many (if any) issues.
It's a two way street and, I believe, we should all travel down that street beside an open mind. Source(s): 19 year old adoptee with an evaluation
To be adopted is lucky plenty. Think about the children sold for slavery. Now that's unlucky.
"The general public who are "happy with their adoption" are uncomfortable beside others precisely because they aren't as happy as they say they are.
If they really were as delighted as they say they are, they wouldn't have to keep insisting that adoption is great.if not."
Actually, I'm going to have to respectuflly disagree.
The ones who say they are happy will own to insist they are happy because others declare they are "in denial."
I don't believe that every happy adoptee is in a fog. I think that in that are some who frequent here are absolutely unable to wrap their heads around the certainty that those of us who aren't "happy" aren't also delusional or ungrateful, or any number of other insulting adjectives.
The baited questions are just in attendance to upset, and the person asking is probably knows this and enjoys the responses. Source(s): Adoptee, mother of 5
People need to understand that their truth is not MY truth. Once they figure that out, we will adjectives have a better understanding of all sides of adoption. The Good, the fruitless and the ugly. We need to not sit in sensitivity of other peoples experiences but value them and learn from them.
The general public who are "happy with their adoption" are uncomfortable near others precisely because they aren't as happy as they say they are.
If they really were as chirpy as they say they are, they wouldn't have to keep insisting that adoption is great.if not.
They would be able to relax.
But, they cannot.
Realistically, adoption requires a lot of adjustment. For starters.
Happiness might be easier for some than for others, but it isn't fair to rhythm people over the head when there are barefaced losses , already built into the adoption system.
I agree with Snow. If more people on this forum came to the kind that someone else's truth isn't THEIR truth, and conversely, that THEIR truth isn't someone else's truth, there would be a lot less bash and a lot more discussion.
As an adoptive parent, I have no problem hearing other people's experiences, positive or glum. I have no problem hearing "This may be what your child is/will experience."
I have a problem when culture say "This is my experience as an adoptee. Every adoptee who says they have a different experience is any in a fog, in denial or not bright ample to see things how I do."
Sometimes, I feel like I own to defend the right of my children to form their own opinions based upon their own experiences in need someone else telling them what to think and feel.
So to answer your quiz: ignorance of truth can be self-inflicted. But the definition of truth and whose truth you are speaking of, can be vague or changing.
Answers: "Is it self inflicted ignorance if someone forms their view on skewed facts?"
Definitely self-inflicted ignorance.

"Can the citizens on this board understand that there are as many different stories as within are adopted people?"
I believe that the majority of people on here do realize we adjectives have are own experiences. Its just that some get adjectives pissy over anything negative being mentioned about adoption. They appear to get enjoyment out of calling those on here willing to share those experiences as "angry", "hateful", "evil", etc, etc. Then this designation calling is used in loaded and baited questions to stir the pot.
"Why is it that solid people seem to want to start trouble by asking baited question?"
Trolls get off on it.
"Why can't the people who are glad with their adoption recognize that we aren't all that lucky?"
Denial... Yes, I did read aloud denial. NOT in denial over their own experiences. But, they want to hold onto the myth and belief that adoption is perfect, so will shout down anything they perceive as negative. All this fingering pointing isnt helping the end in; neither are all these loaded or baited questions. But, it is well-mannered to see that the majority of users here are still civil and are not resorting to the reporting or blocking game.

I have a negative experience with the re-union with my mother. But I don't suggest or recommend to others not to rummage for their mothers. Its not my place to encourage or deny someone else their own path of discovery. Do I apologise if someone decides not too aim her out, hell No. Its was their choice and their choice alone; and they will have to live with the consequences themselves.
