As an adoptee how do you feel about the issue of abortion?

I personally don't see an issue with abortion - the decision should be solely taken by the pregnant women after a certain consultation. There can be various reasons why to abort a pregnancy and each and every of them is perfectly fine.

How do you feel being adopted has affected your opinion on abortion?

I hope it doesn’t -I try to be a rational and intelligent human being and therefore I know that my story shouldn’t affect others people’s life negatively.

Many adoptees have been asked "Aren't you glad you weren't aborted?", what is your response to that?

I was never asked that before - but I don’t waste my thoughts and feelings and things that I cannot / couldn’t have changed.

Have you ever felt like your experience of being an adoptee has been misrepresented or used to advance a certain rhetoric?

No I usually make a fun about it. Probably I have been lucky.
