My closed adoption was not emotionally healthy for me. I was glad in recent years to hear that most adoptions were now 'open' meaning that there would be meetings, gifts, photos, and most important--ongoing information.
From what I read now, it seems these agreements orcontracts are not honored much, if at all.
My question is this--how would you have felt, upon meeting your natural mother, to find out that the agreement was not honored, and she was intentionally shut out of your life.
Photos and gifts were ignored or destroyed, the relationship was severed, all promises broken, maybe your adoptive family moved away to gain distance from your mother...
How would that affect your relationship with your adoptive family?
