'She feels I betrayed her.' (problems facing adopted children who try to trace their natural parents; includes case studies)
Article Abstract:
Adopted children often try to trace their natural parents, and in many cases a happy reunion results. However, it is also possible that they will face a hostile reaction from their natural parents, and this can be very hard to accept. Natural parents may not want to be reminded of their past, and have usually built up a life which does not include the child who has been adopted. In some cases, the adoptive parents can also react negatively, feeling that they have been rejected.

Is junk food such a sin?
Article Abstract:
Takeaway foods such as burgers, kebabs and chips are generally regarded as being bad for the health, especially if eaten frequently. However, some takeaway foods can be beneficial if eaten in small quantities. Chips, for example, contain vitamin C, and pizzas and milk shakes contain calcium. Some Chinese and Indian foods are relatively healthy, as are kebabs.
