Spell Check This
Hah!
Was spell checking an email on Yahoo mail today.
It kept highlighting the word, "adoptee."
No such word exists. Or so it implied.
The spell checker gave me some nifty options:
Adopter
Adopt
Adaptee
Oh, the irony. I was feeling a little invisible today. (I swear, adopters are always well represented...in media, as lawmakers, as spokespersons for adoptees and now...on spell check)
Well, shoot. Maybe I'd misunderstood. Maybe that's what I was supposed to be all this time.
An adaptee. (And no, I'm not anti-adoption. Just anti-adoption-is-wunnerful-no-biggie-pretense)

Well, no, you are an adapter, having adapted to your adopted home.
I have a reasonable vocabulary, I think, but what the heck is an "adaptee"? How is that even a word?
Sheesh.
Hah!
Adapter it is then!
I totally call myself an adaptee because we're supposed to just adapt to all these circumstances we're thrown into against our wills. But then again, i totally relate to being anti-adoption so maybe thats why its easier for me.
Either way, the fact that adoptee ISN'T in most spell checkers or dictionaries really irks me.
pfffft.
I'm also adopted and noticed that Adoptee wasn't in spell checker while I was writing a letter to my Adoption Agency to ask for NID about my birth parents. Talk about society's inability to acknowledge adoptees! It felt like yet another slap in a society who raised me to think I wasn't grateful for being saved. I am posting to say that I admire your courage to write about the complex feelings and experience of being a child given up to closed adoption.
How interesting,I never noticed!We are all adaptees then? What a fitting word to describe what we have to do to live someone else's life.
Good wishes to all you adaptees out there, courage and strength to you in telling the truth of it and living your lives.
Hello I'd like to thank you for such a terrific quality site!
I was sure this would be a nice way to introduce myself!
Sincerely,
Hilary Driscoll

Hi! I’m so glad to read this, finally oan adoptee out there who doesn't insist that this is 'absolutely wonderful' or 'the best thing that could have ahappened to me'. It's actually worse reading such things written by fellow adoptees than when it is sternly told to you by some patronizing non-adoptees ('Wow, you're adopted! You're so lucky. You must be so grateful!'- huh?) I am adopted and I’m just trying to come to terms with the whole thing, you know? I’ve tried to start writing about it (at http://adopteejournal-aj.blogspot.com/ ). It really helps! I wish you all the best, I like your blog, I'll be visiting now and then. :-)
