I wish there were more mental health resources for adoptees. I've been through a ton kf therapy, rehab etc and I've only met a few competent people. but not really any therapists. I want help from my C-PTSD- it comes from being given up, the stress I had in the womb + alcohol exposure, severe neglect until I was adopted from the orphanage at 16 months. We just lay in a crib, all day all night with very little human interaction. I wasn't held or shown love. Likely no toys or chance to explore the world as an infant. And all of that for 16 months while not having enough to eat. I am grateful I survived to get adopted and to a good home. However, the trauma I have is still so deep and repressed, because therapists don't understand I've just been researching online to learn and heal. I hope I can start my own adoption support group for my local area and that I can reach and help others as well as myself.
Yes to more resources for adoptees!! Thanks for sharing part of your story here, really pushing for more support that can be available and sensitive to the unique and specific needs of adoptees lifelong.
I have loved our conversations over the years, seeing you reach these heights, get this far as someone who approaches this in the same ways I do, I finally have hope! Thank you for spreading this!!!!
Great contribution to change the narrative to our own so those who need it experience a world of recognition instead of disbelief and ignorance, as it was in the past. We, NLKRG, will share this in Europe.❤
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Thanks for speaking out Cam. Adopted people are the only experts on adoption
As are donor-conceived people, sometimes people call them half adopted … this is also very relevant for them
Thank you for watching and sharing your encouragement Connor!
