epenn, I am not sure who you are responding to, but I think you may have misunderstood. Nobody said the whole wound theory is bs. We have each expressed our beliefs about our own situations, and determined that the conclusion that ALL adoptees suffer this wound is what is bs. See? We are saying the same thing, don't attempt to lump us all together. We are on the same side. I believe the comment was about babies feeling this intense would at the time of seperation. Actually, there were several alternative explanations offered for why an adoptee would feel wounded. The fact that many adoptees do indeed feel this feeling was never in question. Sorry if you felt your feelings were invalidated. It is only that many proponents of this theory seem to feel very inclined to insist that it is a truth for all adoptees. And if you don't think so , you are in denial. THIS is what is causing the problems, this over simplification and gross generalization. Love, Debi
