Hi there!
I'm here to share my journey and to offer my support to others who can relate to what I have to share...
I am a 65yo adoptee who had struggled with my adoption for a major part of my life. I had to learn forgiveness and be willing to at least try to understand my birth mothers position. This took me many years of counselling and changing my way of thinking, but the biggest lesson came when I was prepared to look at how my birth mother must have felt about giving me up for adoption and how hard that must have been for her; my anger changed into compassion and I was on the road to understanding it wasn't my fault.
I got to see how feeling like it was my fault, played out in so many areas of my life, in my work life, my friendships, my relationships, my value system, my self worth and my identity.
