[QUOTE="Malika, post: 513042, member: 11227"] Hi lovelyboy Of course for a child (or anyone, really), the idea of loving you so much that they give you away is hard if not impossible to embrace. I do think it is very healthy, if painful, for your son to be exploring this now and for you to be validating him in his feelings. Without being over-indulged, obviously, I think the sorrow of an adopted child for his or her lost parents is inevitable. How could it be otherwise? Have you read "The Primal Wound", seminal reading for adopting parents? I think you can't jump to a quick and easy resolution of his pain, though I understand it is heart-wrenching to witness. Just allowing him to speak about his sadness and anger is tremendously valuable. [/QUOTE]
