A safe place to talk about the painful feelings caused by your adoption experience, get validated and learn how to change the way your experience affects you." This message board is NOT for promoting adoption and NOT for singing it's praises, but it IS for exposing adoption lies and myths and that if you choose to participate, it is necessary to open your minds and listen. I ask you to temper the anger and outrage that is being directed at those who have been here for a long-time and, by so-doing, you might learn something constructive and enlightening. This board/chat is NOT about loving and supporting adoption. It IS about exploring the destruction caused by adoption - how it injures family members. This is a place to talk about the pain of adoption which is the road to easing the pain. Please click on the Documents link to the left and read "Adoptese Guidelines'. and "Honest Adoption Language" provided by - Origins-Canada Please visit our website: www.adoptioncrossroads.org for search help, books, healing sessions, referrals and other information. "The horrors of war pale beside the loss of a mother."
- Anna Freud ["or a child" - Joe] "Injuries caused by separation of mother and child can, in time and with work, be dealt with effectively to the point where the loss will not interfere daily in our lives. Instead, the pain might rear it's head a few times a year. We may need to cry--get a hug and perhaps vent our anger--but the pain will pass more quickly each time."

I do not know my background, my lineage, my biological or cultural heritage. But when I meet someone now, I treat them with respect. For after all, they could be my people." James MIchener "In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our
heritage, to know who we are and where we come from.
Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning.
No matter what our attainments in life, there is a vacuum,
emptiness and a most disquieting loneliness." - Alex Haley
