From my point of view…

The difference between being a bio adult and an adopted adult…

Bio adults are free to have express negative feelings about or personal challenges within a family.  No one challenges them on whether or not they just don’t realize how good their family is, instead they are commiserated with, and told how great they are and to stay away from whoever is causing them grief.

Before an adopted adult dares broach any topic (might not even relate to family) they must publicly proclaim how they feel about their parents and then gingerly touch on any “iffy” feeling they may have about their family, or personal challenges they face that stem from being adopted.  They are told how sorry the person is they are going through this, but reminded that bios have problems to and to stop blaming everything on adoption because it might not have anything to do with being adopted.

It is also striking to note that bios are not reminded that adopted have problems too.
