    In all fairness, the issues we have as adoptees are ours and don't belong to our birth parents.

    Someone once told me that acceptance is letting go of the fantasy that it could turn out any differently.

    Just because she signed you away doesn't mean she wanted to. I understand what you're feeling - my mum gave me away, too - but maybe she has such overwhelming shame, grief, and regret that she cannot stand the reminders. She has probably lived for years upon years with the absolute, fundamental understanding that there is no going back. I think us adoptees keep trying so hard to rewrite history and hold everyone accountable... it is exhausting.

    Just thoughts from your sister in adoption.

    I hope that one day soon your mom can begin to heal her wounds and be able to one day fully embrace you in reunion.

    I also hope that one day you can truly believe that you ARE enough. You ARE a good person who is completely lovable. Don't let your mom's reactions determine what you think about yourself. You deserve much more than that!!
