I completely understand Bridges.

The hardest part about it is though, is that your birthparents choose to be "dead" to you- which makes the loss so difficult to deal with. It is not the same as say, your parents actually dying when you are a few days old- say in a car crash or something. Because when you are adopted you grow up knowing it was not that your parents could not be there- it was that they chose not to.

It is so hard for the adoptee because they feel all this loss, anger, fear, abandonment, grief, sorrow, etc. etc. because of the actions of their parents- the people who are supposed to keep and love them.
