HELLO HOW ARE YOU DOING ARE YOU JUST STARTING HAVE YOU GOTTEN A COACH YET

Hi Everyone, I hope this post will be there for all the new members who join when the times right! I'm Carter the founder of this community and an Adoptee. My story is one of both good and bad, I've had some tough times through my life, lots of it because I was adopted, and never feeling like anyone truly understood me, not the family who adopted me, or the kids I grew up with, and as an adult I don't have loads of friends that I go out with at the weekends, I find I'm better of sticking with those close to me, the ones I trust. I know longer have contact with my bio family or my adoptive family (more on that another time). Something that always struck me when telling my story, is how outsider say, "you were lucky to find a family who adopted you in" - but what those people don't see is the guilt, heartbreak, questions, lack of understanding of your roots and all the other things that come with being separated with the people/person who was supposed to love you unconditionally. This page is here to hopefully raise more awareness of all of adoption not just the fairytale everyone thinks about. So let me open this up to you lovely people, introduce yourself, share your stories when you're ready and lets put adoption back in the spotlight.
