Did you get to read this question?

sorry i dont get it

I'm happy for you that you got this reinstated and appealed. I've given up appealing anything because it's been so obvious that a couple of trolls that we all know have reported my responses to their provoking questions.

I think this was a realistic and appropriate question. How dare anyone who isn't adopted feel that these kinds of adoptee experiences should be pushed back under the rug rather than discussed.

I missed it before it was deleted.

In most cases of infant and international adoption, "chosen" is a harmful lie. With the waiting lists for babies, there is no choosing the child. You take what you get. It is the adoptive parents who are chosen in the vast majority of the cases of infant and international adoption. In many cases, the adoptive parents chose NOT to adopt available children (turn down a "situation") because they are "damaged" goods.

Adoption from foster might be different. I will read and appreciate the answers from foster/adopt parents.

All children should feel special. Surely, there is a more honest and less harmful way to make them feel that way

Lots of cowards on here, unfortunately that have nothing better to do than contest responses and questions. I think they just don't like what they read and decide to contact Yahoo.

I'm happy you won the appeal Lori. You go girl!

Parents should help their children build positive self-esteem. But we must help them build it with truth and love. We do our children no favors by telling them they are princes or princess or "chosen" only to have them worried they will fall off their thrones if they aren't perfect.

Rumor has it there was only one perfect person.

I'm not sure why it was deleted??? It seems like a reasonable question to me. It is nice to know YA is willing to reverse directions when warranted. Good for you for pursuing it.

What was the reason for getting it taken down?

It's not offensive. Good question =)

Yes, I did and I'm glad it's back.

Hey curious one, are you so bitter because you were unable to pass a homestudy or something?

Bravo, you actually got your question back. Good I liked your question.

Curious to which of the coward Aps on here had it deleted.............its so petty to have questions deleted just because it hits too close to home.
