October 30 has been designated as Adopted Rememberance Day.


Myself and along with fellow Adoptees

REMEMBER!

Many adoptees have never gotten over the trauma of being separated from family.

They are depressed, and Angry and to suppress the the pain turn to


DRUGS



ALCOHOL


FOOD


UNFORTUNATELY family and friends and yes the church don't


UNDERSTAND!


Don't listen,


Spiritualize Adoption, Make Adoption sound like Happily after after.


I believe that each adoptees need to come to a place where they make sure that their anger doesn't turn into bitter Ness.


It is okay to be angry but we must not let bitterness over take us.


I don't necessarily believe that the church are all of the problem.

I do think society contributes to

GREED!


I am not going to argue. I do believe every single person needs to take ownership in ignorance of not listening to the concerns and unhappiness of adoptees.


Parents need education!

Church needs to listen to adoptees when they are struggling with

Trauma! Identity.

Adoption must not be mixed up with Spiritual Adoption.


I struggled with this.

It is now that I am knowing the difference.

Adoption from the Bible is not Trauma.

We Belong! We automatically are members of the body of God.


Society has made Adoption out to be made for Profit,

Adoption has been made to steal children

It is in the best interest of the Children ! Unfortunately often it made in the best interests for the Adults.

October 30 has been set aside for the adoptees who had

Depression and anxiety and didn't understand that what they were experiencing was

TRAUMA, GRIEF! ANGER!


COMMITTED SUICIDE


ON Drugs,


Struggling and feel alone because the rest of the world DON'T REALIZE THAT WE ARE WIRED DIFFERENT.


As an adult adoptee and as a Christian

I need to hear the heart ❤️ of Adoptees and say that you can experience healing and become whole people.

Healing is on going in A adoptees life.

When adoptees are and are validated

We can function.

I end with this

I struggled with depression and anxiety. I still do.


At 1 point I struggled with thoughts of suicide.


When people paid attention to me.

The church paid attention.


I found my anger disappeared.


I have moments!

Adoption is Trauma and I have chosen to be better.
