I am a 25 year old adoptee in reunion with my birth parents for less than a year. I focus on the reunion itself, the feelings that it has caused, and a look at the highs,lows and in between!
Thanks everyone for your comments! My boyfriend of 4 years just broke up with me, and I can't even begin to tackle my issues with my birthparents now. I need to focus on one thing at a time. I'm not sure when I'll be back. Thanks for your support

I am a 25 year old recently reunited adoptee in a closed adoption. This blog will chronicle my experience of meeting my birth parents: The highs and lows, processing my feelings, and adapting and adjusting to my newfound relationships.

Im here for you Stace, please let me know if you want to talk.
I'm so sorry - it's hard no matter what the circumstances. Did it have anything to do with your emotions about your birthparents? I wonder if some men can handle all that goes along with the experiences of an adoptee.....I pray that it gets easier for you......
Hi Stacie from Jody, adoptee.I am now 51 but my adoption issues were triggered when I experienced new losses in life. My first challenge was similar to yours, my long term boyfriend breaking up with me. I wrote a neat article on Older Adoption website about my journey through grief and loss to help other younger adoptees be encouraged and recognize the unresolved grief issues that may lie dormant and be triggered by other losses or separations in their lives.

Thank you for your support. The good thing is that he is not abandoning me. He wants to be there for me. I was ready to get married and he was not ready for that.
