The purpose of this group is to help people heal from the trauma of separation of mother and child.

 To do this, we need to learn how to be aware of what we are feeling and communicate that in a way that is easy for others to understand. The most difficult task we face is learning the language of our experience: the language of adoption .

We need to learn how to say, “I feel... (plug in: glad, sad, mad, ashamed, hurt, afraid, etc.) because... (fill in the blank in terms of your adoption experience.) When we say things out loud, they become real in a way they can never be if left unspoken; and when they become real, we can start to understand why we feel what we feel; and when we understand why, we can start to change the way that our experience affects us. We can begin the process of not being afraid of our feelings. We can learn that our feelings will not kill us, although it often feels like they can. When we become unafraid of our feelings, the world changes. Imagine being unafraid of your feelings!

This group is open to adoptees, natural parents and natural siblings of the adoptee.
