Having been in reunion for 14 months with my son and seeing the enormous pain that (closed) adoption has brought him, I can't help but feel angry/irritated that these people are going to have one big headache when the child/ren are in teenage years and suffer from an identity crisis. I sincerely hope they are prepared for the complex issues that adoption brings a child. From what I can see on this forum/website, there are so many that hit problems at the sensitive teenage years and I hope that celebs have enough insight and training into understanding that the child may miss their bmom/dad, wish to know about them, have read the Primal Wound, etc etc.
Knowing now that social workers now admit that adoption has not been the happy ever ending they thought it was 30 years ago, that it brings its own painful and complex issues and seeing the emotional mess my son is in (he searched and found me) - I can only go on my experience and relate to others that express themselves on these posts - adoption brings much pain to the members of the triad in one way or another and the press portray these celebs as giving adoption a cursory glance before going ahead with it.
Of course, that would be naive to believe everything one reads, but as I said, I sincerely hope the celebs are prepared for some pretty rough rides ahead. I think this website is testimony to much pain in various members of the triad.
Thats my cents worth.
