Adoption Support Group

Yeah I always had these feelings with my a-family (not really with my friends though) I just couldn't relate to them, was very different to them and found it particularly hard not looking like anyone either. I found both my b-parents 2 years ago and even now I still feel lost, like i don't fit into any of my families

I was very close to my aparents. There were times I was sad/angrey over the adoption, but my aparents delt with me and all my emotions and loved me to death. One the other hand, my son, who is now 18, we reunited this year, never felt like he belonged with his aparents. That hurt me because I wanted him to grow up as I did. It has been hard for him to really explain it to me, being 18 and a boy, should be no surprise, but him and I are so close. He said he found himself when we met. He got to meet his bdad and lived with him for a few months this past summer and my son said they are good friends, but I am the only one he feels he can talk to. I understand the dis-conected feelings, Thats how I felt when I met my bfamily. Maybe it was because I was in my 30's and had astablished my own life. But the need I see in my son, I did not have for my bparents.
