Flip The Script~ Adoptees want to be heard among the clatter of national adoption month

6. Unless you are adopted

Unless you've been adopted it's very hard to understand the reality of what it means to be adopted.
Imagine if tomorrow you woke up and your legs were gone. And you said, "Where did they go?" And people told you, "It's better for you not to know."
Because that's what it's like to find out you were adopted. There is a past that is yours, but people want to keep it from you. I have no history because it's not allowed. Medical issues? Hey, you were lucky to be adopted. Don't worry about it.

But I do. There is a father. There is a mother.
And there is government standing in the way.

Adoption. We have a right to know who we are. We have a right to medical information. But we're told time and time again, "Would you just be grateful? And please, be quiet. After all, you're a bastard."
