What Adoptees Say About Adoption

You may be told by agencies and counselors that adoption is a win-win-win situation. But what they are not mentioning to you is that adoption can be both hurtful and confusing to adoptees. Abandonment, rejection, anger, and grief are all common for adoptees, and can be severe and long-lasting. You may be told that adoption is "the loving option," but can a child really process that Mommy loved them so much that she gave them away? We don't abandon those we love.
