Given the hopeless hope in the society
To adopt a child is a very good thing I think, because it will give that child a family, siblings and people around to love and care for. We might not even know that lots of people that we know today are actually adopted.
Well for this week's prompt I think is very cool and I kind of like it. The reason why I am sounding like this is because it is not even every parents that wants to adopt. Some Fathers will insist is only his biological children that will be under his roof. This because they don't think that they can share their love with strange kids that they don't know who gave birth to. Then there are some parents that don't care. They can bring other children home and take very good care of them as though they are their biological parents. To such parents I give them ten gbosa. Is not easy to raise kids. You will need a lot of patience to be able to raise kids the way you want it. Some kids are very very stubborn. While you are at it and that child is not even yours, is not too easy.
HOW WILL I REACT TO THIS NEWS?
I know that everyone sees things differently, so they way I see it will definitely be different from the way you may see it. For me I think that at first it won't be easy for me to come to terms with the reality that they people I have known all my life as my parents are not actually my parents. But then looking at it from another angle I will really appreciate them for been this sweet. Yes. Because I know that they have really sacrificed alot to bring me home and play the part of my parents. I said this because if they never played their roles very well maybe I should have discovered it own my own.
It will make me love them the more. For taking me as their own and not even considering the consequences of wether I will be a good child or not. Just for doing that I will do anything to love them very well and take very care of them. Maybe if they never came to adopt me, I might never have such family. But they gave me a family. They gave me life. They gave me education or any skil at all. That makes them great parents and I will live to appreciate what they have done for me.
WILL I EVER BE ANGRY AT THEM?
why should I be angry? Was it their fault that my own parents abandoned me? No. Is not their fault. So, why should I be mad at them? I see it as been unfair to them if I become mad at them for adopting me. I can't be mad at them, instead I will be mad at my biological parents and might never want to see them again. I said so because I don't think that they deserve me.
HOW SHOULD THINGS LIKE THIS BE HANDLED?
The truth is that the child must come of age before you can tell him or her the truth. Maybe as a teenager or early adulthood. I believe that this is the right time to do so.
MY ADVICE
I believe that the past don't really matter, is the present and the future. Having said that, how a child came to be don't really matter is what we make out of that child that matters.

i like it when you say this. it is not their fault.
You have said a lot, we all have our different ways of approach to things. Truth be told, it wasn't even their fault at the first place that your parents left you at a very tender age. Seeing love in others shouldn't bring hurt in anyway.
Yes, the age of the knowing matters too to at least at teenage or early adulthood the child have better reasoning....
