Lately I have been reading up on adoption trauma. Even people raised in open adoptions have written quite extensively about how painful being adopted is. When I placed my baby, I did it because I wanted her to have the best life possible, but now I'm so afraid she will hate me or think that I left her. Is this a common occurrence, or are the things I'm reading just a few people who are very outspoken?

Don't worry! I do not feel traumatized at all by my adoption. I have read many articles to that effect, and I just don't understand. That's not to say their feeling aren't legitimate, but I think they are the few. I have had parts of my like that were great and parts that were terrible. I think it is the experiences we have in life and how we deal with them that makes us who we are.
