Shared Challenges and Insights:
Each of these clients faced the mixed emotions of reconnecting with their biological families, often complicated by a sense of loyalty to their adoptive parents. Many chose to wait until their adoptive parents had passed away to pursue these relationships fully, reflecting the delicate balance of honoring both family ties. Others encountered the challenges of addressing the adoption triad—bringing adoptive parents, birth parents, and adoptees together—while working through emotional complexities and establishing trust. These stories remind us that each journey is unique, but with the right support, it can lead to transformative connections and healing.

"I was raised by my biological aunt, but I always felt the need to reconnect with my birth mother. Addiction had taken a toll on her life, and she was living on the streets of Chicago. With the help of Adoptee Intermediaries, I reunited with her after years of uncertainty. It wasn’t an easy decision, but waiting until my own children graduated high school allowed me to introduce them to their grandmother on my terms. The reunion brought closure to a part of my life I’d been questioning for so long. I’m deeply grateful for the sensitivity and professionalism this team provided throughout the process."
