Thumbs up Adoptive Parents Post Adoption Emotional Struggles...it's a new forum!

...based on the response and respect being shown on some threads throughout the forums...Brandy has created a new forum... Thank you to Brandy and to everyone who has participated on the threads responsible for creating the Adoptive Parents Post Adoption Emotional Issues forum.

It really makes me feel so much better to know that struggling emotionally post adoption is just as 'normal' as struggling thru the adoption process or the infertility process....or whatever process. I know when I was in my darkest days...I felt so alone. I hope thru discussions such as the ones in the new forum...that no one else has to feel so alone.

We’ve had many threads in the last few months in which parents have discussed their feelings and experience – and with the increase in threads – I thought it would be nice for them to have their own forum.

This isn’t a forum for debate – nor is it a forum to “compare pain” – this is a safe place for adoptive parents to share their feelings on post adoption issues and seeks support from others (regardless of triad position).

I really hope this forum can be a successful place for those who are experiencing post adoption emotional issues to seek support.



So, click on the link in my signature and join us...
