[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if some of the unhappiness of adult adoptees stems from the secretive and closed culture that used to surround adoption. Today open adoptions are more common and I would guess that would help adoptees navigate their feelings.[/quote] Hopefully these days relinquishment is a well thought out choice versus the coercion of the past. The stigma of an unwed mother has lessened. But the poster who says adopted children are no different from biological children is basically dismissing possible legitimate feelings of abandonment by the adoptee. I also believe being connected via open adoption hopefully makes that easier to navigate. [/quote]
