As an adoptee how do you feel about the issue of abortion?
Sometimes I wish that I was aborted because of the trauma I went through as a foster care/adoptee. Government is quick to say and choose for the woman but doesn't want to support if she decides to keep the child. Since the child doesn't have a choice, it should be up to the mother, it is her body, life etc.
How do you feel being adopted has affected your opinion on abortion?
It has influenced my opinion greatly!
Many adoptees have been asked "Aren't you glad you weren't aborted?", what is your response to that?
It's a 50/50 feeling. I missed out on meeting my father and one of my biological brother.
Have you ever felt like your experience of being an adoptee has been misrepresented or used to advance a certain rhetoric?
Yes, I'm tired of hearing "you should be grateful" or "things could be worse" or" why is your name different"
