Gotcha...

Twitter is a wealth of questions and stories that are rarely discussed in public...I appreciate the questions and I love being able to share my opinions and answer the tough questions that hurt most Adoptee's internally. 'Gotcha' is one of those words that break our hearts. I don't know if there really is an acceptable word...it's considered a glorious day for the Adoptive parents' but not for an Adoptee that was just removed from the only person they have known their whole entire life... For them it is 'Trauma'. I don't think traumatic is the word an Adoptive family wants to use for their happy day but it is something that they should consider before they get all gung ho and celebrate 'gotcha day' every year.
