I think a well adjusted adoptee is like any well adjusted adult - one who has traversed this life and made it a process of self discovery and self examination, one who has experienced independent emotional and spiritual growth and confidence, outside of their parental and sibling circle, (as a young adult), one who is happy, sad, mad and fearful, experiencing a range of human emotions, one who is secure and confident or working on feeling so but who is vulnerable and has insecurities, one who is simultaneously strong and weak, one who is responsible for his actions and takes responsibility for the power he has to affect others, one who is aware of the power that he holds for himself - to make life happen, to choose emotional health, to reach self satisfaction and to choose happiness.
