Life is hard for everyone, harder for some. Adoption offers children that are not wanted to be wanted. Some of my best friends are adopted, they struggle with it from time to time, but if they weren't struggling with that they'd be struggling with something else. Point is I know they're glad they're here, and so am I. I struggle with anxiety and depression, I wasn't adopted, so what do I have to blame for that? Life sucks, stop playing the victim and deal with your problems.

themange59 some of my best friends are dogs... but I dont know how it REALLY feels to be a dog! adoption is NOT about being wanted or not wanted it should be about a child being loved, raised and secure with out the need for birth records and personal history being altered. Adoption reforms are needed. For the record Im glad im here hope you sort your depression and anxiety out.

@much2say1 Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish! You have a choice: You can either choose to go through life angry, bitter, hateful and sad, or choose to be grateful to be alive and to have been given a chance at life. YOU are the one in control of how You feel each day. I choose to wake up and be grateful to be alive. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something to make the world a better place. Go to school get a degree and make a difference in this world.

@krissykirchmann hi, if you are going to tell a person to do something then at least spend a few minutes researching your facts. Firstly, I am not sad, bitter or hateful about my life! I am NOT against adoption. Every child deserves a loving stable home, I am against the UK adoption laws. I am against original birth records being altered. Until the UK laws change forced and illegal adoptions will continue. I had a very good education thank you very much. continued

continued. Though I did have to attend Uni for my degree (school only goes up to A level). A lot can be learned from mistakes of the past. If adult adoptees dont speak out how can we hope for adoption and child protection laws to change and evolve.

I'm sorry, this video is utter shit. It makes no sense, you could hardly read the words. And the facts if there are any seem very unreliable.

I'm adopted, from the horrible country of Mexico. I was raised by my grandmother hardly saw my whore of a mother. I wasn't not taken away from her, she gave me up. I was raised by the most loving family ever. I did struggle but only because i was given up on until I was given hope. Not every adoption is full of doom and gloom. Go on or face your family

[much2say1]

missscenequeen, after seeing your video with all its charm and intelligence I can say without a doubt I wont be losing any sleep over your comments. Mexico is lucky to have you!

sammicsno, thank you and yes Joe Soll is fantastic! x

I'm so confused. I'm adopted from a third world country-but I don't regret it at all because my life has been wonderful. Some children do unfortunately have sad adoptions, and I'm sorry that happened to you. I have had lots of struggle with my family sometimes, but they are my family just the same. I live in the beautiful US of A, and I've grown up educated and well taken care of.

Adoption is confusing, we live lives apart from our relatives, culture and country.We can all love our adoptive families but still need to know who we are.

Good video. I related to the part about what "would have happened" had I not been adopted. I was told variations throughout my childhood, I would have been "flushed down the toilet" "thrown in a dumpster" "left in an alleyway" My adopted mother eventually tried to get rid of me by filing false police reports claiming I hit "her and her husband" and "repeatedly threatened to kill them".

Adoption is really a nightmare.

[IBeatUpThugs]

@rmsquirrel I feel your pain. My adopted father called me "rotten bastard" and told me I'm fortunate to be adopted because I would have been "flushed down the toilet" if they had not "rescued me and saved my life". I was told my biological mother was mentally ill and a drug addict. I spoke to her as an adult and she was neither of those things just a catholic teenager from a middle class family.

I don't understand why all these people have opinions when they aren't adopted.

[TheTravelfool]

@6eloved yes but adopting kids from the 3rd world will NOT help that country nor it's people. Change needs to come within, not removing the kids. Trust me I have been to 55 countries and started 2 shelters in Brazil and a school in West Africa.

[krissykirchmann]

@much2say1 good luck to you.

My co-worker found her for me in 2008 and now we are together again-where we should've been all along.Sometime CPS just went with claims instead of really finding out the truth.But that was back in the 80's and I guess times were different then...but we missed so much and it's had to come to terms with that and now she knows the hell I was put thru and it's hard on her too.She always kept me safe and loved...until she couldn't have me anymore and I was put in a totally different & abusive house.

[rmsquirrel]

I'm sorry to say,but if you aren't adopted then there is no way you could understand.I was forced from my mom at 4 because her half sister was bitter with her and reported her to CPS with false claims.I was adopted by a "family" that told me I was an indengered servant and owed them for "taking care of me" and told me horrible lies about my mom hating me,not loving or wanting me,and that she was a variety of horrid things.You have no idea what that did to me.
