She is never going to understand that..
I also, however, am not a fanatical "all adoption is pure evil" person either.Your words, not mine. My identity isn't wrapped up in my adoption. Although...maybe it is. I am the product of my aparents love and guidance as well as my bparents biology. I have no qualms about telling others I am adopted. I am proud that I had 4 parents. One has died, and that hurts me deeply. But I still consider myself to have 3 parents.

I am sorry for your loss KL.
That's all well and good but none of it indicates in any way that youremotely oppose separating families unnecessarily.

And if she goes near that woman she may spend her time trying to
convince her to get on with it.. Let bygones be bygones.

Nor has anythingyou've ever said. You do nothing but justify, justify, justify and areinsessantly antagonistic towards anyone who opposes adoption in anyway, shape, or form.

I agree..
