About this listen
We’ve heard it for centuries, as early as 1967 when the Beatles released a number-one hit song, “All you need is love.” The lyrics have echoed throughout time, wildly reverberating throughout adoption communities. However, adoptive parents shine bright when it comes to wanting to offer Love to the child they hope to gain through adoption, placing it at the forefront of their motives to adopt. While they might have pure intentions, there are some layers to the adoptee experience they should consider.
What if love isn’t enough or a house full of stuff?
What if the wound from separation trauma is too big to heal?
What if they adopt a child that doesn’t bond with them?
What if the adoption agencies and advocates haven’t been honest and forthcoming about the other side of the narrative that’s almost always ignored, the feelings of an adopted child once they grow up?
What if they have been sold a lie regarding adoption, and they don’t know what they don’t know?
What if they know it, yet they have chosen to ignore it?
