Dejected about Rejection

When I write about the rejection from my Birth Family I have a hard time writing it all down. I have conflicting feelings about how I wasn't totally rejected by them all. I don't even know if they all know about me. I don't understand why they wouldn't. I feel like as time has gone on, there shouldn't be any reason to keep the secret any longer. I am a recovering Adoptee, I would love to see my Birth Mother recover as well. The first step to getting better is to acknowledge the shame and guilt. It's a lot to carry that mess forever. It's easier at the end of the day to release the stigma...and healthier.

I can't imagine a kept child having thoughts like the thoughts that an Adoptee can have.
