The issues that adoptess have stem from abandonment, though everyone has abandonment issues, adoptees start their lives off this way, sorry to say. So the feelings of not good enough go right back to abandonment. (Many birth mothers have these issues too). Of course NOT ALL adoptees feel this way and as we all know everyone has issues. Read some books on this, Primal Wound for one.

I have these issues, they are deep seeded and at times paralyizing and I am an adoptee. I am working on it!

Generally everyone starts off with a clean slate, but adoptees do not and some are affected in a lot of ways, I happen to be one of those that has been affected by adoption. If I wasn't adopted I am sure I would have other issues LOL!!!

I don't blame adoption, but it is an underlying cause of my issues and you can believe it or not but for me it is true.

Denying that I have the issues or why I have them would be denying who I am.

Again, not all adoptees have these issues (or at least aren't conscious of it)
