Adoption healing happens!

Journey to healing

In Adoption.

Telling talking about my adoption story has brought me healing.

I didn't think that I had the right to tell my story because talking about my beginnings was not talked about at home.

I tended to talk secretly about being adopted, and I felt uneasy as I felt like I had broken an unspoken family rule .

I struggled with anger and depression.

I didn't know why.

I came to find my adoption papers.

The topic was closed.

I carried around pain inside.

I couldn't concentrate.

I wanted to know about my pre adoption and adoption.

I lashed out at people.

After investigation, I am looking for answers

I received information from CAS

Children Aid Society near my hometown of Port Hope.

Still, no answers came.

I became frustrated

Eventually, the truth came out.

I confronted my mom.

It was difficult to approach the subject of adoption.

My mom dodged my questions.

I continued to ask questions.

The truth came to light.

It took me a while to process the news.

My parents were related to me. Kinship Adoption.

A series of emotions went through my mind.

I began to heal with writing my story.

I contacted my mother.

I shared How I felt about my situation.

Healing happened when I spoke out about my adoption.

I came out to speak about being adopted.

I worked through my issues. I researched issues that adoptees have.

Prayer and people listening helped me.

My identity is in Jesus and not my family.

Adoption doesn't define God does.
