Thank you for sharing your story. I relate a lot with what you said. I was adopted and lost my adoptive father when I was 13 years old. I did not know at the time that It triggered my abandonment issues. It was a very difficult time of my life. My adoptive mother pass away in 2002.
I found out my bmother 12 years ago and she did not want anything to do with me. It has been very difficult for me since them especially on my birthday. This year I decided to deal with my adoption issue and went in therapy. I found out about the book " The Primal Wound" and have been reading since and also about this forum and it really helps to come in therme with my adoption. I also got " Coming Home to your self by Nancy Verrier. I just ordered two news books on line: Twenty Things Adopted Kids wish their Adoptive Parents knew and Twenty Life- Transforming choices Adoptees need to make by Sherrie Eldridge.
I don't like to give advice but rather share my experience. Like you I see the impact it has on me for being adopted and have a lot of feelings. I read somewhere to heal we need to feel and that is what I am doing. I own to myself. I want to be a whole person: I own to myself. So I can have the life that God has intend for me to have.
Hope I did help!
