Although no one uses these terms around the children, they are certainly used because if you had seen what many of us have seen, you would not be able to come up with a synonym for it. If no one has tried to do that in the last several years of selecting better names for certain terms (i.e., "mentally handicapped" instead of retarded), it''s probably not going to happen.

You seem to care an awful lot about what I say.
And you also seem to think that adoptees don't exist in the forums where adoptive parents write/speak/read etc. How many adoptees are reading your words now?

Until then, DF, you can go blathering on as usual about a field you know nothing about and making a fool of yourself as well as the joke of private messages ("OMG, go to the ________ Forum, get a load of Drole's verbal diarrhea.")

Oh no, not the private messages! Anything but that!
You call people trash and talk about children like they're furniture (oh and what was that about your daughters not being allowed to join certain GLOs?). Pardon me if I don't nominate you for the sainthood or give a shit about how you fill your PM box.
