Listen now | Have you ever stopped to question the narratives spun by mental health professionals or the sensationalism surrounding adoption? This episode of 'Because I Said So' invites you to do just that. I'm challenging the idea that adoption is an inherently traumatic experience, laden with existential crises and psychological pitfalls. With the story of my friend Pat, who discovered he was adopted at 19 and reacted with nonchalance, I challenge this sensationalized narrative and question if it's a mere invention by mental health professionals to create a cash stream.
Thank you!! My daughter was adopted as a newborn. We chucked all the adoption garbage taught us in the process and raised her as we did her older brothers. She is now an adult and happy and wonderful. We have had to fend off “adoption thinking” from others through the years. It has sometimes been an exercise of faith to keep their attachment crap from creeping in. Thank you for this.
Staying clear of the psychobabble surrounding adoption requires significant resolve and confidence. My congratulations! Also, I greatly appreciate your support. Tell your friends and family, please!
