you would think adopted folks would be all pro-"life". But the ones I've met are all prochoice.

Do you think that stance is influenced by 'I don't want other children to go through what I had to' - by increased knowledge of the misery for all sides that may accompany adoption (and surely must if the adoption is delayed, or there are unsuccessful attempts first)?
I'll have to confirm with a couple of my friends, who are adopted, but I very much suspect they'd agree with you: of course, they're not selected at random so one might expect their views on 'social' matters to be likely to be close to mine.

I should say I didn't know you were adopted... given that brief background, you've done very well since.
I'm impressed, anyway.
