Still welcome them with open arms, they're family after all. There's too much prejudice in today's world. How would you feel if someone thought the same about you? Sorry, i'm a sentimental fool!

Well it depends what is meant by HORRIBLE I would be inclined to take Christine's advice but then again, I am a nosey mare and may wait around to give them the benefit of the doubt then maybe run like hell. Its very difficult to answer but you know what you are comfortable with and if you are not comfortable then i would take care. Good luck no matter what you decide, but you have to put your own well being first. Pat x

Miss L Toe Certainly a difficult situation. Maybe they feel they have n-one to turn to and an impartial advice my be beneficial. Judge it how u c it. Don't be threatened by it. Say what u feel is right 4 the situation. At least u have tried then. Hope everything works out. Heidi

Rachael...She was adopted at six weeks from OUR Mother....she went to a witch of an adopted Mother (this woman sounds horrible!) I feel SO sorry for this person I found on here :(......OUR Mum died only two months ago so she missed meeting her :((( It's all so sad. I feel I want to try give back some of the love that she missed out on....but she's VERY screwed up. Theres one consolation in all this.....OUR Mother never got to know the rotton Life her third baby had that she was forced to give away. She gave her away thinking that she would have a better life than she could give her.

This adopted Mother when she first got my half sister.....took her in a room and smacked her bottom as hard as she could so as to make the baby cry...all cos the adopted g/mother wouldnt accept her....the baby was thrown in her lap and told...."NOW BOND WITH IT!"... It's no wonder this Lady has probs now.

When this half sister got pregnant before marriage....she was told....your bad!...your a hoar like your birth mother was!. She entertained the troops during the war!.....None of this is true by the way. This adopted mother hasnt had sex with her husband for 50 years cos she thinks it's dirty...no wonder she had to adopt!!!!!..nasty nasty lady! I wish I could put the last 50years right for my half Sister....Im gonna try my best.
