So, talking with adult adoptees helps tremendously. All info may not apply but all info is on the path to learning.

Thanks for your help.

I agree with Lynn. Honesty form other adopted people is so helpful!

When my kids were younger I also tried to stay on top of the adoption issues. In my case I have learned the issues disappear for periods of time and then resurface. As parents of adopted children we need to be open to any and all emotions surrounding the topic. No closed minds.
