> So the win win winyou believe adoption is is founded entirely on loss.Di


In the very same way recovery from surgery is founded on a deep wound with a
scalpel.

Or, in the very same way raising a child is founded on the pain of labor and
delivery.

Or, in the very same way being a happy, healthy adult is founded on teen angst.

The loss an adoptee suffers at relinquishment does not become the "foundation"
for everything that comes later in his or her life, one would hope.
