[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 244063, member: 6479"] I'm not sure why you have linked your therapy with your daughter's.....is that how adoption therapy issues are supposed to be worked? No experience with 'em, so maybe I'm totally wrong! :) I would understand if her therapist occasionally wanted you present for discussions. But in the end, your issues with the birth-mother/daughter/meeting/talking/wanting to see her/etc are not the same as your daughter's. I would think you would need/want your own therapist to help you with your fears of abandonment and loss, and she would need her own therapist to help her with [I]why[/I] she wants to meet birthmother, what that means for the rest of her family, etc. I guess I see you and your daughter as having two entirely separate issues. I would think you'd want to address them separately, with whoever is best suited to help YOU. ;) You say there is a well-known on out there---what about him/her for you, and the current one for your daughter?
