3. Feel nothing towards birth parents

Feel nothing towards birth parents

Not weird at all. It could very well be due to repressed trauma, as was my own cause (i have both PTSD and C-PTSD and the C-PTSD is mainly caused by my adoption and its general outcome), but it does not necessarily have to be the case. I think it is is ultimately up to us, adoptees, on how to approach and call the people who adopted us and the people who gave us up. I personally feel weird about both sets of “parents”, but don’t feel anything towards my bio’s either. Also, please don’t mind the commenter calling people who feel nothing towards their bioparents “traitors”. Again, i don’t think we owe our ap’s or bio’s anything, for what it’s worth.

Looking for conversations with adoptees :) Complex outward view of an adoptee An adoptee's perspective (positive!) I was adopted at birth and at 30, I feel incapable of attaching to anyone Should I change my adopted child’s name? In Ontario, is it difficult for older children with cognitive disabilities to be adopted? as an adoptee, i really resent adoption being evoked by the anti-choice movement Biological children and adopted? I'm a white dad and my wife is Chinese-American. I speak Chinese well and we're close to her family in China. We have an 8yo boy and 5yo girl. Considering this biracial and cross-cultural dynamic with a strong Chinese connection, how do you recommend we go about adoption (and not go about it)? I’m considering putting my baby up for adoption How has growing up adopted affect your family dynamic? I finally found my birth mother... who informed me I’m a product of rape. Do adopted children wish they hadn’t been adopted? Adoptees of Reddit, do you know why you were put up for adoption? If so, why were you? Question for both adoptees & adoptive parents: when would be the best time to give adopted children a house key?
