I had a total snark going, one that was going to ask a million dollar question:
~ Is it OK for people to carry certain stereotypes about a certain issue and not other stereotypes about the same issue? For example, is it OK for people to carry the stereotype that all adoptive parents who have been through infertility have “issues” that make them less effective parents?
WHEREAS [like the legalese language? it's the best I can do, not being a lawyer and all]
~ at the same time, it is not OK to carry stereotypes about first moms or adoptees [and no, I really don't want to state certain stereotypes about them because I don't believe those stereotypes]
I mean, it makes sense that if you educate yourself about the stereotypes of one group, or two groups, wouldn’t it behoove you to educate yourself about the stereotypes of all of those groups in the adoption world. [and don't you just love the word behoove?]

THEN, I thought to myself, Oh, screw it!!:
in the immortal words of Stuart Smalley:
I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!!
Yeah! What he said! Besides, the voices in my head say that I’m OK!!
Who says I have issues?
