Adoption

Whether you are an adult adopted as a child, facing feelings about this, or whether you are parents looking to adopt a child, adoption brings many issues for families to face. Issues of identity and heritage and feelings of grief, abandonment and even gratitude mix to create a complicated set of emotions, which sometimes accompany the journey of an adopted child (or adult) as well as a single person, a couple or a family considering adoption.
