Thanks for that last bit. I appreciate that. I guess a lot of me is really thinking more of my parents and how it would affect them if I had been taken away. No, I don't know how or if I was traumatized as an infant, but I can tell you that it's not lasting, at least for me. Hell, I was traumatized when I broke my toe at 3, but I don't need to see a shrink about it. ;)
I also bristle at the notion that I could have attachment difficulties with my parents (though I don't think you said that). That sucks to hear, and I think any kid who's adopted and loves their parents would feel awful seeing that.
I dunno, this whole thread feels like being talked about in the third person, even though that's not what you (all) are trying to do. It's a very, very odd feeling.
