My name is Dreama. Adoptee here! Thank you so much for validating that so many adoptees have a rough story. I personally have been treated like crap from other adoptees because my experience was good . My family was created by adoption. I was a foreign adoption and my brother was a parental placement. I can tell you no matter how good of a job you do, ALL adoptees experience the emptiness or missing piece thing. I’m almost 30 and it’s a daily struggle. I was an orphan kid from India… we won’t go into all of my story. My brother however did have that chance to meet his bio mom when he was 23 but it fell through for him because she only was interested in what money she could potentially make off of him. So anyway those are mini stories. I’d be happy to share more. But I’ll end on this, I HAVE THE BEST PARENTS. I LOVE THEM AND IM SO THANKFUL THAT OUR FAMILY WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY ADOPTION. So much so that I’m adopting myself. My husband and I are very excited to get the ball rolling! Thanks so much for the information Katie! You’re doing great!
So much good info here. Yes, it’s essential to learn about trauma. All children separated from their biological parent will have some level of trauma, even newborns. Once you understand how to view behavioral issues as guideposts, it will make parenting children with trauma a lot easier.
