Adoption Loss & Open Adoption
Hi, I have been thinking about and trying to understand better the concept of what “loss in adoption” means and entails for adoptees. I wanted to ask if you could share… what are issues that you have heard or read about that are involved in adoption loss for adoptees? (Are there also any articles or literature about this topic that you could recommend?) I have some thoughts, but would like to hear what others think. (I would also like to see if “Open Adoption” helps with and addresses some of these issues) Hugs, Kris
