CONTEST ENTRY:THE STIGMA OF ADOPTED CHILD @waqarrubab

I myself is an Adopted child after the death of my parents my aunt adopted me i was just 5 years old when my parents died and my aunt adopted me from that day till now i have never felt that i am adopted she never made me feel like this .She also have one daughter her husband has died but she is a working woman she never discriminated between her daughter and me always supported me in every way possible always did best for me always treated me equally with love care and support.i always get whatever i ask for her daughter she is my sister.She always treated me like her own sister not just a sister she always treat me like a baby and i feel free to share everything with her and my aunt she is just like my mother . I think it depends upon th family how they treat the child.When a child is treated with love care and equality he never face any problem in his/ her life while living in a family .But when a family always make a child to feel that he or she is an Adopted child and not a part of family and do not give equal rights to the child equal love and support that is the point where things get worse for the child mental health his her progress in life self confidence and personality. He or she will not be able to share his/her problems openly he will always feel alone and it will make him/her disturbed all the time.It is important to treat an Adopted child equally and never make them feel that they are not from them because it is not their fault that they has been adopted by a family it was family's own choice.
