[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 244299, member: 2005"] I don't think you will find a therapist out there that specializes in the adoptive parent, so I would talk with your reg therapist. The reason why I don't think you will find one is because I think adoptive moms are trying soo hard to make it all look like magic and perfection so that they can "deserve" their kid so we don't want to come forward and grumble about the issues. At least, I think that is what I do. I totally understand your fears. I have been sending letters/pictures 2 x's a year to my kid's bm for years. Recently, I've been contacted by youth services saying 2 siblings want contact. These siblings are still involved with bm and into gangs/drugs. I haven't sent my letters. The reason, plain and simple is FEAR. When all of the older siblings living elsewhere reach 18, I will be contacted if they express interest. I've decided it doesn't change the timetable for my kids(not until they are 18) but it gives me a cold sweat, chilling fear. THESE ARE MY KIDS. [/QUOTE]
