There are many reasons why some people give their kids away for adoption.
But no matter what they are, its always hard.
After all, that child is a part of them.
But when 24 years later, he decided to reach out, the culmination was beyond wholesome.
Scroll down and read all of it below!
Our story took place more or less 2 years ago.
He started visiting it a couple of times a week.
This went on for around 3 months.
Together, they wholeheartedly encouraged the OP to tell her the truth and update everyone on how it went.
He went on and told her.
In a later update post, the OP can barely hold the emotions flowing through him.
But words were no longer necessary.
The woman burst into tears.
After all, there was a lifetime to catch up on.
They talked for almost 3 hours.
Then, they exchanged their phone numbers and agreed to meet again.
The commenters were in tears.
Accompanied by his bio mom, the OP waswaiting at the park to meet his dad.
The dad came already crying and bearing gifts.
The guys talked and bonded,finding plenty of mutual similarities that went beyond their looks.
According toPeople.com, the first step, of course, is finding one another.
However, in the case of international adoptions, things can get quite tricky.
When its finally clear who precisely the adoptee is looking for, its time to open up the conversation.
The article recommends doing that through written communication so as not to put the biological parents on the spot.
Most adopted parents raise the child as their own.
Therefore, it might be difficult for them too.
Bio parents might not want their children fully back in their lives for their own reasons.
And the time spent together, whether short or long, can still be very valuable and beautiful.
Dr. Liz tells us that she herself was adopted in the early 1960s.
Adoptees are often told how lucky they are, and they should be grateful.
What most people dont understand is the grief and loss that can be the beginning of an adoption.
The next stories approach transracial adoption from the childs perspective.
However, according to her, many adoptees do prefer to know their own history.
Sometimes the meetings can feel like connecting to something very powerful, a heritage that is their own.
Some wonder if they look like anyone in their family?
Still, in the end, there can be endless reasons to or not to do it.
Would you want to find your family?
If the adoptees really do feel like reconnecting, Dr. Liz says shes all for it.
Having the support of an adoption-competent therapist can be valuable.
Perhaps the biological parents never told anyone about their child, how will it impact their families today?
I encourage adoptees that search to be mindful of their own feelings and experiences, says Dr. Liz.
Many birth mothers, birth fathers may have shut this moment away as a way to protect themselves.
This is as true in sports as much as when we talk about reunions and anything else.
And to succeed, its wise to be mindful.
