  • How will we get through this adoption?
  • Adoptive parents, would you want the first/birth mom of the child you adopted to tell her friends?
  • What will my first mom expect from me post-reunion?
    • ]]>     Hi, I am new to this, but I have had a nagging question after reading a lot of information on the internet about adult adoptees and their experiences. My adopted child is still just a baby and we have an open adoption, so I’m wondering…what should I expect to deal with as he grows and realizes he is adopted? Do most children/adult adoptees grieve the loss of something/someone they don’t really know? I’m having a hard time understanding why they would grieve when all they love and know is being provided for them in their adopted home. Thanks!!

    Our membership has grown via word of mouth to include adoptees, adoption professionals, and other persons interested in meaningful ethical adoption reform from the adoptive parent point of view.

    We believe that the existing system needs strong reforms because it does not represent the best interest of the people most impacted by the system:the children and their families.

    We are tired of being ignored.
    We are through with being laughed at.
    We are ready to fight.
