I was just wondering if any one else is adopted and how has it affected you

[technigal]

I was adopted, 5.5 years old at finalization. I think that the time I spent with my birth mom contributed to my mental health issues. She was abusive and I still have clear memories of the abuse.

I am sorry it does do alot of emotional damage to us, I am sending you prayers and I hope you start feeling better soon, Just remember that you are special and unique and there is no one else out there like you, You are loved

i think we all need to remember that, and sometimes we just don't.. our illnesses make us feel otherwise.

thanks for the post!

I am well. My adopted family were pretty good, I got a lot of closure when my birthmother died. I was reunited when I was 26.
