wow.. that is bad. since i'm not from a very good family, i kind of WISH i was adopted. it is not the end of the world, you know. i think she should feel lucky because if her parents didn't give her up, she might end up in a bad family. keep strong and happy mylotting!

I became an adopted child when my Mom marry my stepfather. Since, i know my situation I do still treat my step dad like a real father to me. But, I think he doesn't treat me as his son after my sister was born, his attention is at my sister all the time. From that time I'm always the one he blames every time what my sister's mess... He slapped my Butt with his belt oftentimes. I feel angry to him that time but when i reach my high school days he can't touch on me even a bit. because i do talk to him that he hasn't been a father to me ever since, but i love my step dad. only I feel sorry for him. Because of what he did to me, he is now sick and wants me to go home. But, i can't just live my job that easily. So most of the time now, i just call him and send some money for his medicines.That's my experience.... Go Team Philippines....

Im not so sure what will i feel and what will i do.Right now.......if my foster parents treat me like their own child,i would feel very lucky.Few would treat an adopted the same way as that of their own children.But if they treated me bad,i'd do the same thing as what your friend is doing now.My husband was adopted and he knew it from the start-around 3.The reason?His mother cannot give my husband what the foster family can give to him.His biological mother would visit him every now and then.He never took it against the real mom.As for your friend...maybe she needs some time away.Try to console her first then let her know how fortunate she is that she ended up in a good family.
