Effects on parenting

I've heard that being adopted can affect your parenting in a few different ways.First off, your child might be your only blood relative, so you might feel a very strong bond with them which is great. But it also has the potential for separation anxiety. I know a few adoptees who have started to really struggle with their adoption once they have had children. They feel that incredible love for the child, and wonder how their birth parents could have ever placed them if they loved them because imagining that separation is unbearable. This can stir up a lot of grief and feelings of being unwanted.
