Birth Parents

Healing isn't possible, though, without first uncovering the hurts—starting with adoption's central players: adoptees, who are so often in pain, suffering from what the latest brain science validates as the long-term emotional effects of separation trauma.

Birth parents regularly shut down after being shut out by adoptive parents.
