	Yeah... I had to work hard to get into Yale and I was very excited to go. I was going to major in drama. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As I understand it, it's a very prestigious school. You wish to be an actress? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is, I but I managed to keep a 4.0 grade point average in school. I do, I found out I really like performing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. I don't know how I managed it, since I had a baby and gave her up for adoption, but I really did manage it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People have been told to not talk to me, so I can kind of see his point of view. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I appreciate the heads up. I really do. I have been called troubled before. And until I'm given a real reason, I don't see the point in excluding him. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	He's very sensitive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's nothing wrong with being sensitive. I've had that word applied to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, I was adopted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you have a lot of issues because of it? I am really hoping that Beth won't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Most kids who are adopted turn out completely fine. My friend, Jessica Jones, was adopted as an older child and still turned out great. I actually adopted several children, in another universe, who turned out to be great heroes. The new Captain America among them. And I've had plenty of other friends who were adopted when their parents died, or realized that they were not best able to care for them. Peter Parker, Spider-Man, was adopted by his aunt and uncle after his parents died. Alex Summers. Nightcrawler. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Bucky Barnes was informally adopted by the guys at his dad's army camp after his father died in an accident. He was... well, anyway that's a long story, but he ultimately turned out fine.

Superman was adopted. Anne Shirley was adopted. So was Cosette, from Les Mis. Heidi. Paddington Bear. Pollyanna. Barbara Gordon. Annie. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Fox Mulder. Luke freaking Skywalker. Harry Potter turned out awesome.

Some people have a harder time with it than others, but from what I can tell, as long as your kid knows s/he was adopted, s/he should be okay.

	She's only three, so I am not sure she knows or not, but I am fine with whatever her mother tells her. Her mother wanted me and the baby's father to have some contact with her. We did. It's... it's a long story though, as to whether it was right or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
