Sometimes I feel very alone because I've never really met anyone who is adopted to talk to

I know many. Most we know through our adoption group that we are members of, but my brother in law is actually adopted. You'd never know it unless someone told you, he's one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet.

Sorry you feel alone Kate, I can't say that I know what that feels like. I don't share your experience, but if you ever do want to talk I'm here! Contrary to my usual antics, I can be serious too :)

Thanks Thparky, I consider you one of my closest friends here on Imgflip, I know adopted people too but only children of friends fro church who've adopted and whom I can't really strike up a conversation about what it's like to be adopted. I once met another girl who was in the convent with me who was adopted but she didn't really want to talk about it. I suppose there are support groups and such I could find (I once was on a facebook group but it was only people who hated the fact they were adopted so I left that one quickly) I look forward to adopting a child in the future so I can have that other perspective. Like you and other adoptive parents :)

That would be awesome if you were to adopt a child, I can only imagine the bond you would share! And how awesome to give back to the cause by returning the same love that was given to you all those years ago! As I've mentioned before, my adoption agency we went through doesnt operate in texas but it's still a great resource, its called Bethany Christian Services, check out their website, you may find a way to get connected in a positive way instead of the FB group you mentioned. I hate that people out there have had bad adoption experiences, it's such a wonderful thing. But, we all have to find our own way, and some are just going to be negative by default. I just wish more people had positive outlooks, ya know?

i’m not adopted myself, but I have a friend who is.
