just getting caught up on this. Jesus what an offensive article. i'm adopted and have no interest in meeting my birth parents. i'm glad my birth mother decided to have me and put me up for adoption, and i'm glad that i ended up with the people i call my parents, but beyond that, i have no need. i was adopted when i was two weeks old. i've never known my parents as anything other than that. they loved me and supported me. they're my parents; my brother is my brother. that's it. i'd feel awful if some guy went around badgering me to get in touch with my birth parents and calling my birth mother and harassing her too. [expletive] rick reilly. what a condescending piece of [expletive]. I'm in the same situation. I actually had an opportunity to meet my birth mother years ago, and I turned it down. I just felt like I knew who my real parents were, and it wasn't my biological ones. Also, I felt like my father, who was recently a widower at the time, would have been hurt by it. The bottom line is, this is always an incredibly personal thing, and nobody should ever trample on someone else's reasons for doing what they do. Reilly is trash.
