Addressing the Core Issues of Adoption

We acknowledge that adoption involves complex emotional challenges for all members of the adoption triad: adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. Understanding these core issues is vital in addressing the emotional complexities inherent in adoption. Key issues include:

  • Loss: Each member experiences profound loss, whether it's the loss of a child, biological family, or the idealized family structure.

  • Rejection: Feelings of rejection can arise, impacting self-esteem and relationships.

  • Identity: Adoptees may struggle with identity formation, seeking to understand their heritage and personal history.

  • Guilt/Shame: Birth parents and adoptees might grapple with feelings of guilt or shame related to the adoption decision.

  • Control/Mastery: Adoption can lead to feelings of powerlessness, affecting one's sense of control over life choices.

  • Intimacy: Challenges in forming and maintaining close relationships can stem from early separation and loss.

By recognizing and addressing these challenges, we aim to provide comprehensive support that fosters healing and growth for all involved.
