...is that Emily has such a big problem with being adopted. Being adopted is a great honor. Both of my little brothers are adopted. Taylor, who's 8, looks kind of like me and our sister Jill, but Richard, 11, doesn't. It's not that big a deal. Anybody else have an opinion on this topic?

We never talk about Richard and Taylor's birth mothers. If they ask a question we do, but they rarely do. Sometimes when Richard's mad at somebody he'll say, "you're not my real mom/sister!" It really hursts our mom 'cause she's done so much to give them a good life. We have information about their birth families too; but I suppose it doesn't matter as much to them about their birth siblings since they have each other and Jill and I. I think being an only child who was adopted would be harder than being adopted into a family with siblings, especially when one of them is adopted too.

My friend and her sister are adopted and their adopted mom died recently and i didn't even know they were adopted cuz they both looked just like their mom.
I dislikea lotta things about this movie, like that it's damn predictable.
Berg: See anything you like?
Ashley: Where'd you get that line? Cause you need to give it back.
Who are you talking about?

i don't remember much about this movie because i watched it a really long time ago. my older brother, david, is adopted. and while i think being adopted is a beautiful thing, i understand where emily (which is ironically my name, too) is coming from. my brother seemed ecstatic when he found out he was adopted, and even though i cried (i was probably a little younger than 10 when i found out) he laughed it out in an "i knew it" sort of way. but everytime he gets into a fight with my mom or dad, it's "you're not even my real parents" or "i cant wait to find my real mom." i guess being left with all the questions is upsetting at times.
without you is something that i could never do <3
I have always known I'm adopted (it was finalised when iw as 6 weeks old) and it really does not bother me and people always ask me questions about it which i am very happy to answer because being adopted is part of who i am and if people have a problem with that then they have a problem with who i am and to be honest i don't have the time or energy to deal with people like that if they are too narrow minded to think being adopted is a bad thing then they are not the kind of people i want to asssociate myself with. Being adopted is a awesome thing and something you should be proud of cause it part of who are you. I don't remember the exact day my parents told me i was adopted but i have always known it has never been a secret in my family. When I was 5 one night i told my mum i wanted a lil brother or sister (ok sometimes not 1 of my best moment) and from then both my mum and dad applied to be come adotive parent all over again and when i was 6 we were chosen to adopt my sister she was 2 at the time and for along as i can remeber she has been told she was adopted. Both me and my sister know how lucky we are and i could never even think of saying anything like 'your not my real parents' to my mum or dad cause 1 my mum is scary when she gets angry not a lady you want to cross lol love her really and 2 as far as i am concered they are my real parent i have never met my mum and now im 19 i have made the choice that i dont want to she is welcome to try and contact me but im not going to go looking for her and the same goes for my half brother and sister.
Wow this sia really long post sorry if you just wasted all your time reading that i dont mean to leave a whole essay.
being adopted is not a great honor and its nothing to be ashamed of...its like being born chinese, or black. its what you are, why would you find it an honor?!!?!?

"being adopted is not a great honor and its nothing to be ashamed of...its like being born chinese, or black. its what you are, why would you find it an honor?!!?!? "
What's the problem for being born a Chinese and black?
there isnt anything wrong with being asian/black/white/etc, but it sure as hell aint something to be proud of.
people are always going on about how you should be proud of your heritage, but until youve actually contributed something to your race/culture/hertiage you have nothing to be proud of.

Ok, maybe it's not an honoour per se, but it's certainly a priviledge when you're accepted into a loving family. It's something one ought to be happy about always...
sharei think being adopted isnt, or cant be that bad. i wouldnt know since im not adopted myself. but it depends on the person i suppose. but i think emilys problem with it might just come from how it came to happen. how her parents were killed by a drunk driver. and the whole keeping it a massive secret sort of brings a little bit of a point to the movie.
shareMy bestfriend's adopted.. she found out when she was 16
she didnt get mad or anything but she did cry her eyes out.
She's the luckiest kid i know.. her adoptive parents are amazing people!
anyway the problem is.. her adoptive mom's friends with my mom.. and i know all about her real family and she doesnt.. (she's got siblings and she doesnt know that and they're like heaps poor AND they live right near her university)
dont know whether i should tell her since her A-mother is intent on keeping it a secret. They explained why.. and i understand it but she IS my bestfriend
anyway she did say she doesnt want to look for her bio family which makes me a little less guilty.. but still.. been keeping it for 4 years.
ah well...

lacks a smart title.. forgive me
it could of been worse for Emily, such as being a foster child. Then she'll have something to bitch about once shes a ward of the state.
