    Unfortunately, Americans don’t have a corner on the bigotry market. There are uninformed and unintelligent people in all cultures, including people from the United Kingdom.

    Sometimes a job finds us. It may not be what we studied in college, but it feels right and we are able to derive personal satisfaction from it. Success isn’t always measured in the size of a paycheck, but in a job well done. Some people walk away from the field they thought they wanted to work in in order to do something that has value to them in other ways. Perhaps it’s less stressful, leaves more time for family, or the work is important because it is community oriented and helps other people.

    Ricci, Adoption is not shameful and shame on those who make you feel that it is. I am a 44 year old adoptee. I have never felt that being adopted defined me. I was adopted at age 6 months, and aside from the fact that I came into my family in a ‘different’ way, once it occurred, we were a family just like any other. I have encountered more than my share of uninformed people, who think I must be some how be wounded by the experience, or who just don’t get it. I am a librarian and the library I work in has an ‘adopt a book’ program. We were recently asked to change the name because it was ‘offensive’ and compared children to books or dogs from a pound. Please! The person who complained was well meaning, but really way off base.
