A view like no other

As I start to read the beginnings of the book 'Being Adopted' I have come to realize that one of the reasons most people aren't educated about the triad is because the birth mother and the adoptee are supposed to stay silent and keep the secret due to the shame that is involved.

The birth mother is embarrassed because she feels that she is her parents shame. The adoptee is scared to sound ungrateful. When society and the Government involved recognizes the trauma that we go through maybe then we can start to heal.

Healing is something that takes alot of time and effort not just for the adoptee to succeed but also everyone involved with the adoptee. For some of us we have had to live with our adopted self for 50 years or more. Some of us want to become our real selves. Unfortunately we struggle with that because we don't have the mirror that the kept were blessed with.

All any of us want is to be normal and have a regular life.
