Do you believe adoptees own some POSITIVE traits as a result of adoption?
Let us see the good. Perhaps we have some qualities that are EXCELLENT and HONORABLE as a result of individual raised by those not genetically related such as felxibility, adaptability, implementation of others. I do believe we are special, do you?
I'm self-reliant.
I think I misunderstood the question so I am going to re-answer.
I think I bookish a great deal of independence and self-reliance. I learned a large amount about difficult family dynamics and about adoption issues which will be of use in my career. I learned that no concern how hard we try, my parents and I will never have the relationship we both want to have. I hold learned to resent authority figures.
All in adjectives, these may be lessons that have had some positive outcomes, but I expect I could have been perfectly optimistic not having to learn them in this instrument.
And no. I don't think I am special because I am adopted. Some of the time, I feel slightly the opposite in fact.
I do believe that any child is special.
edit: thumbs down, my feelings are hurt, are there really family out there who don't think any child is special?
flexibility and adaptability? HA! my a father is one of the most bigoted, intolerant, unyielding,non accepting human beings i know. He told his bio daughter(my older sister) that if she ever married an african american, he would NOT attend the wedding. He called my nieces first boyfriend a few horrid names(he was half white and half black). He still have not met his great grand daughter(who his half black).
Yet he had "black friends". one of whom he call Buckwheat. i wish i was joking.
So yea, i didnt grasp my tolerance or flexibility from that area. My bio mom was a tolerant person, but kept it hushed up.
I believe ALL children are special, contained by all kinds of ways.
Absolutely. I have this uncanny knack for loving strangers.
It also give me a boatload of material to write about.
Oh, and can't forget the most important one- I totally closed up my heart and tolerate no one in, so I cannot be hurt.
A well-mannered friend of our grew up in a Catholic boys home in the 1950's. There was no love and no nearest and dearest enviroment since he was ten years old and his sister 5yrs old. (His mother have a mental illness, she couldn't raise her children.) You'd think he'd dislike life and end up on drugs or something and be a very bitter soul. He doesn't drink and he doesn't smoke, yet at a party he's the life of it, he's so full of energy and laughter. He's happily married to the same woman for over 30yrs, finanacially stable and they raise two beautiful, girls who have high self esteem and and are very soon both happily married to men who treat them well because they wouldn't accept smaller amount.
I think self esteem plays a big part in how a human being handles life and how they treat other people. I don't know if my kids would hold been better off if they weren't adopted, how can we really know that. But they're man raised by us now and its our responsibitly to see they have self worth from how we treat them and angle them. Source(s): adoptive mum...mainly life experience
Big ole goose egg. Why do you keep trying to put lipstick on a pig?
I think it teach you to stand on your own two feet, not many people evacuate home that early! Go away to live with strangers by themselves.
Also it makes you want to droop on to the people you have. You value them more.
My (adopted) son is loving, affectionate, socially conscious, empathetic, forgiving, funny, and sweet.
I nurture and encourage those traits contained by him but I don't believe I GAVE them to him. They're part of who he is. You know...part of his DNA...that was given to him by his mother and father...the ones who created him and bore him. Source(s): Too unpromising your line came up empty. I ain't takin' your bait.
Resilience.
ETA: Yes, Ollie. You ARE special.
ETA: Kristy (aka: Sera-ahn), love the rainbow. It's so "you".
ive learned to keep hold of an open mind and realize not everyone is like me.
Yes. Being adopt has given me a great deal of patience beside annoying questions. No, the fact that I am adopted does not cause me any more special than anyone else.
I don't see anything positive something like losing your first family.
eta: I'm a good person, but not because I lost my household. Source(s): Surprisingly self actualized adult adoptee
Yes. I appreciate the time I spend with my innate mom more than before I was given to complete strangers.
I can't speak that I was given the traits you listed as I was not raise by a "felxible", adaptable, accepting mother.
I do think that due to my adoption, and the set of parents that I was given, I well-educated to self-soothe, respect myself no matter what people (mother included) say almost me, and to recognize B.S.
These were not qualities that a human being ONLY gets from being adopted. I would own to say they come from self-knoweldge and cutting through the B.S. and finding my own truth.
You, my dear, have no knowhow of my truth. I'm glad your truth is so sunny though. I'm glad you are "felxable". I would have to doubt your acceptance of others though... Source(s): adoptee, mother of 5
You're special, alright.
Answers: I believe that adoptives have some positive qualities. The ones I know are self-starters, successful business people, are intensely caring, and a host of other good qualities. Yes adopt children are special.
oh, my aren't you special..sigh..
because of not being raise by your bio-parents.
gimme a break...
There are lots of positive traits in adoptees, as well as non-adopted children.
Yes I do. Feeling like you dont fit in for any judgment, whether it's looking different from your adoptive family, having different interests from people at your conservatory or job, or being shy & not knowing the right thing to speak can teach you all kinds of moral qualities in the long run, like compassion & knowing to do the right entity.
