So, I was in a meeting and unfortunately someone passed away. When reading about his contact person for more info, she was referred to as his "adopted daughter". WTF????

Seems if we question our adoption and any feelings around it, we should be "grateful", but when it comes down to the family bond, we are the "adopted daughter"?

While I'm at it I also hate when I mention I'm adopted and someone says," REALLY! Have you ever wanted to meet your parents?" or "Do you wonder what your parents are like?" or "What if you have brothers and sisters out there!" or "When did you find out!?" And follow up with some other really deep, personal questions.

This has always bothered me. It is my personal pet peeve. I know I am just more sensitive to it. I liken it to a story one of my friends tells. He wears oxygen and has the little tubes in his nose. People will say, "what do you have?", and he'll say, "emphysema." Some will respond with something like, "My aunt died of that!"

We all have our buttons, I suppose! Just needed to get that off my chest.
