I have heard this more times than I can count. When I hear it, I immediately perceive the person as someone unsafe to be around. In some cases, I know the adopted person or people they are talking about, and I know the adoptees are definitely not okay. Adoptee Silence is real, and comments that invalidate and dismiss our feelings reinforce that silence.
