Hi -
I am new to this site. I have recently realized that I need to confront issues surrounding my adoption head on since they seem to be preventing me from sustaining a committed relationship. I am in search of an adult adoptee support group anywhere in or near Los Angeles. If anyone could direct me I would be very grateful.

Hey I would love to meet soon! Here's my direct e-mail address so you can e-mail me OkieAsian23@yahoo.com. Feel free to contact me anytime!
Think it's great you gals are meeting up - also hope that it turns into a regular thing for you.
No reason you shouldn't form your own group - don't know how you would start one, but perhaps a local church would allow you to use a room/hall as a start??
LET US KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT!!!! :flower:

Hi, I'm new to the site and also in the Los Angeles area. Has anyone found a support group or did you guys start one of your own? If so, I'd love to be included! I'm on the verge of making contact with my birth mother and I've got lots o' feelings about it. Thanks!

Hey,
I posted back in November and never got a response. I am still open to starting something although it looks like it would just be the two of us. Do you want to plan to meet up for tea? If you want you can email me at ladydarkins@gmail.com

Perhaps you could also phone Liz - her phone number is listed earlier on in the thread. I do hope you'll be able to get a group going - I've found that having in-person support groups immensely helpful. The back of Betty Jean Lifton's book, "Journey of the Adopted Self" also has a lot of adoption-support resources including the LA City Adoption Search Association. 12440 Moorpark Street, Apartment A-179, Studio City, CA, 91604 and California Searchin' PO Box 553Penngrove, CA, 94951 Many more groups listed in the San Francisco Bay Area but again, those groups may know of groups in LA. Also, Priscilla Margolin is a counsellor listed in her book and she's at: 260 Maple Court, Suite 124, Ventura, CA, 93003. Tel: (805)-644-1930. Also, Adoption Consultant Service, 337 South Beverly Drive, Suite 103, Beverly Hills, CA, 90212Contact: Reuben Pannor. Tel: (310)-454-8141. I'm not sure if the contact details are current since I bought Betty's book in 2005.
I'll look into those. I've just started reading that Lifton book so I will check out the listings in the back. Looks like I'll be shooting out some emails soon.
And tea might be nice! I'll let you know. Got a lot of traveling over the next couple of weeks but maybe when I get back?
It's amazing to me that I started this search about a year ago and all because of an epiphany of sorts I had 2 weeks ago while trying to fall asleep that I'm finally getting into it. I've read two books and am on my 3rd and am devouring any kind of adoptee info I can get my hands on. I guess I've become a little less compliant! Last night I warned my husband again that there's probably still a lot of repressed emotions still about to come forth. Poor guy. :)
Thanks again, all.
