Sure read those books, I did. But also remember that the writer of say, The Primal Wound is coming from an era when adoption was also a dirty little secret. Can you imagine finding out you were adopted when you were an adult? Yikes! It definitely clouds the author's perspective. And, she does write from the perspective that ALL adoptees are going to suffer from that birth trauma in some way.
As for love being enough, we have no way of knowing what the future holds for our children. All we can do is trust our instincts. My instincts tell me that I need to get down on my hands and knees and play with my children every day. My instincts tell me that I need to give them copious amounts of hugs and kisses. My instincts tell me that I need to be open and understanding of any thoughts, fears, questions, and concerns they have about not only adoption, but all matters of the heart, mind, and spirit. I'm trusting my instincts and knowing that whatever comes we will face it as a family.
Good Question.
