Adoption Stories - Excerpts from Adoption Books for Adults

Janine Myung Ja

Summary

What are some adopted people (adoptees) feeling and saying about adoption today? You will be surprised. Adopted people are diverse individuals with differing points of view, yet have been stigmatized into one type of people by the industry leaders. Even though we come from various backgrounds, we've been stereotyped as if all of us are somehow ungrateful if we don't show enough appreciation, labeled as if having Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) when we don't bond as expected, or too negative when we push for answers. This little book proves that we are an assorted population with varying backgrounds, and we should not be reduced to the label of anti-this or anti-that when we ask questions—questions that make the industry uncomfortable. Rather, we should be given the right to ask questions about our background and even gain access to our adoption documents when we inquire. We have the right to ask questions—even if it makes adoption agencies uncomfortable. We should have the right to know if we have blood-related sisters and brothers, aunts, or uncles. None of us should have to go to our graves without having the opportunity to develop friendships with our next-of-kin—if we so wish. This book, containing excerpts from Janine's "Adoption Books for Adults" collection, is completely biased on the rights of adopted people and void of influence from adoption authorities.

See The World Through Child's Eyes

Ruben G. T.

The journey through our emotional inner longings, while meeting ourselves in a deeper way.It's truly undeniable that our lives are a reflection of what we believe in, and what we feel deep inside.And because words can easily become places, I would love to share some of the scenic emotional transitions, of some of my deepest life-changing decisions, some metaphors and some real life knowledge, that later became wisdom to myself.To help better decide on how to act in many different life scenarios, in different stages of our human evolution.Born from a love seedling that blossomed from the depths of me, urging to breathe, it incubated into physical form at its own inner rhythm.May these bridges we call words bring you the comfort your soul longs for, let their beat carry you back to your innate wholeness, one that your heart knows so well.They will guide you gently into a silent awakening, to a deeper truth, to a much more meaningful life experience, every time you are open enough to receive it.In the deep knowing that it no longer belongs to me, I open my hands and set it free, so that it can become all that it can be, to all those who might feel the calling to, more than read it, fully experience it.May my loving embrace, in every word, gently guide you back home.
