The angry people I encounter whenever I mention my views on adoption are all people who've never been adopted. Adopted people pretty much feel how you (and I) feel. They've often never been given a chance to truly express these feelings because of the pressure of being "grateful", etc. Most of the time I don't have the emotional energy to run the gauntlet of negative emotion (including the incredulity that I can't seem to see how wonderful it is) the subject generates so, like you, I usually only discuss it with those whom I trust.
