I totally understand your anger issues. I'm not an adoptee, I'm a half-sibling, and I just found out (I'm 39) that my mother, at age 17, gave up a child for adoption in 1956, This has opened an emotional can of worms for me because although I wound up in the same shoes as my mother (unwed and pregnant), even THEN she never told me. That's the icing on a BIG THICK cake, and it's very hard to deal with it emotionally because my mother passed away 12 years ago and so I can't even try to sort it out with her, and it's really hard to be angry with the dead.
It sounds like you're on the right track with the therapist, though. It's a direction I need to take myself. Good luck.
