What We Gain When Adoptees Tell Their Stories

9. I don't even understand what that means

You make it sound like a ride at Disneyland. Mr Toads ride, did you have a good experience or was it bad? You have taken a complex issue and turned it into a very black and white issue. This is what the blogger is talking about in her post, that different adoptees have various things to say related to being an adoptee or adoption as an institution. The author is stating that as a society we would benefit if when speaking about adoption, adoptee voices should be listened to. Does that offend?

BTW, you didn't even have to click on the link to see, right there in the posted material, one of the constant & unwelcomed retorts that an adoptee is confronted with whenever they dare speak of any issue surrounding adoption in anything less than glowing terms is, "* Stop focusing on the negative and focus on the positive "

I have scratched my head attempting to understand how you or anyone could find this post objectionable. I am beginning to believe that posts like yours are performance art.
