how can members of an afamily justify judging and shunning a child on the reasoning that they are adopted? the adoptee didnt make that choice, they didnt chose to be adopted, that decision was taken from them. how can other members of their afamily blame them for choices they had no say in?
EDIT.
im not talking aparents. more like grandparents/cousins/aunts/uncles. ones that had no direct link to the decision to adopt
 
Bigotry and prejudice are rarely logically justifiable. But the mind of a bigot can rationalize anything.
 
They justify it as many families have done, since the beginning of time. Adoptees are not "blood". Is it fair? No. Is it cruel? Yes. But not everyone accepts as stranger's child as family.

I guess I could ask my adoptive father's mother, but she is dead now. She made it perfectly clear that my brother (also adopted) were not her "real" grandchildren. That happens more than people like to admit.

Blood ties, genetics, DNA are very important. Look up any royal family....they MUST have "royal" blood to be considered part of a royal dynasty. Bastards need not apply.
