From adoptee & therapist Cam Lee Small, MS, LPCC. Adoption is complicated. Grieving is, too. They go together because at some point, a family is pulled apart. Let’s continue to normalize that tension, so that others might find the courage and hope to walk through it.

It’s inspired largely by elements from my own adoption journey, but it’s flexible enough I hope to shine some light into yours💌

You might also find my recent eLearning on Birth Family & Culture helpful in bringing this discussion to your family and community.
