Coming out of the Adoption Fog

What is Adoption Fog?

I believe that adoption fog is one who is oblivious to the effects that adoption has on the adoptees.

We are not aware of what happens after an infant has been given up for adoption is Trauma.

Being in a fog means we are not aware of the effects that being adopted has on a child.

.

An adoptee no matter what their circumstances suffers loss of their first family. This is being ignored.

I am thankful that my mother gave life to me. I am not thankful for being adopted. How can you expect a person who has lost a parent be thankful for being replaced by another family.

I am thankful to God for making me. I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God.

The myth is that I would have a better life. The truth is My life is different but not better.

There is a loss that ran deep into my heart . A grief that has been stamped on my memory forever.

What I do want to say is this. My early life beginnings do not define me nor does my adopted family. I love my family but my family heritage does not define me. God does.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God. I thank God for both of my families.
