Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Episode 65: The Positive Impact of Adoption

Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Episode 65: The Posiitive Impact of  Adoption

In the past twenty years, there have been lots of changes in the adoption world.  International adoptions became more and more common and often times international adoptive families are not camouflaged, and additionally celebrities, in my opinion have really helped with this aspect.  People look to celebrities and often want to emulate them, and adopting publicly, appears to have assist in the normalization of adoption.  Adoption is more commonly spoke about, integrated into movies, television shows, books, plays, and all around media.  Now that adoption has become more of a common topic, child adoptees may not feel different than their peers, they may not feel like the odd man out.

In this podcast, I want to address some common questions people ask.  I want to try to answer on my own behalf, but I suspect there is some commonality among adult adoptees. 

1. How does it feel to be adopted?
2. Do you feel lucky that you were adopted?
3. Why haven’t you adopted?
4. Are you angry at your birth mother for placing you for adoption?
5. Was your adoptive family upset when you wanted to find your birth mother?
6. Are your adoptive family and biological family similar?
7. Which of the two families can you relate to more?
