I am a mental health and learning disability nurse and now completing my MSC in Advanced Practitce. I work with families and children on both sides. BUT I still dont have any answers (lol) every case is individual.
I am also an adoptee who for the first time is trying to seek my birth family. Why I ask ? Im happy and have had a fantastic life with Aparents.
My first thought was I required a medical and psychiatric history as I have children of my own. However my collegues who are psychiatrists and psychologists made me reflect on these thoughts. What happens if she wants more, What happens if she suffers social deprivation, What happens is she is unwell, What about siblings they might have no money ect.... All of a sudden I relised that I do care and would ensure that the bfamily recieved all the support they needed I would never turn my back. The moral of the story is it takes time and sometimes friends to make you think. Goodluck give him timexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
