What We Gain When Adoptees Tell Their Stories

4. The pro adoption industry stories are all that get told or listened to

Rather than hurling comments such as:" Not everyone had an experience like yours." you should try reading articles and blogs written from an adoptee POV. In college I took a course in American Studies, where we listened history as told by seldom listened to groups of people. It was hands down my favorite class, as we were drawn into other people's lives and circumstances. If a person were struggling with empathy before they took this class, they had learned a lot about empathy during the course of the class.
