RESEARCH SHOWS ADOPTED CHILDREN HAVE UNIQUE AREAS OF VULNERABILITY.
MANY ADOPTED CHILDREN CARRY DEEP FEELINGS OF INSECURITY AND THE INABILITY TO FEEL THEY BELONG.
Adoptees have a family history, but they are acutely aware that it is not truly their own history. "Genetic ego" is replaced by a "hereditary ghost."
Adoptees often feel that they don't measure up and have difficulty forming intimate relationships due to this innate disconnect. They often feel that they must be good, or even perfect, so that they will not be rejected again. Adoptees are shown to be more vulnerable to loss, rejection, abandonment, loneliness, fear, anger, depression, and psychosomatic problems. These attributes follow adoptees from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood, leaving lasting scars upon the heart and soul.
This is the story of an adopted woman who experienced healing and restoration through her own journey of searching and finding healing of her own wounded heart and life.
