Adoptive parents are saintly for adopting

Adoptive parents are always hearing how great they are for having adopted People always mean well when they say this, but the fact is, most adoptive parents adopted because they wanted to be parents Not because they are special saints This also sometimes sounds to adoptive parents like their children are somehow less lovable, and therefore, loving them is a heroic act Adopted parents just love their kids like other parents love theirs It doesn t require any special effort!
