Has coming out of the fog rained on your parade? You're seeing how being adopted is affecting everything, but you're feeling worse? You're hoping the healing will come. SOON. When will this be over? Was life actually better in the fog? Hope is here. NOW. Listen to this...
When adoptees talk about the fog they're describing being unaware of the impact being adopted or relinquished has had on them.
If that's the case then I was in the fog for 40 years.
I was adopted at 5 weeks old, told about with the aid of a story book before my parents adopted a little girl before my second birthday.
We had a good life, lots of love and care. A good adoption.
At 40 I found out that my childhood teddy bear was a gift from my birth mother. My first reaction was curiosity. Sharing this story 4 months later, I flew into a fit of rage directed towards my birth mother.
Since then I've been trying to figure out how to be happy.
Along the way I stumbled across this thing called fog.
My conclusion?
Fog isn't what most people think it is.
I share what I've learned about fog here.
