freedom
40 years of helping those whose lives have been touched by adoption.  

 ( This support group began November 1, 1996 )


This room is for adoptees , natural parents & their relatives.

Open 24/7 but facilitated groupis nightly from 11pm-12:22 am Eastern.  For info for those not living  in North or South America, email me.


Guidelines:  We do not use the word "adopter". Adoptive parents may be referred to as such or as "A-rents" or "Aparents". We do not use  "bio", "b", "biological" or "birth" in reference to mothers.

Who you see here, what you see, when you leave, let it stay here, Except in Emergencies.

No one is forced to talk in here. You may just observe for a while and decide.
Please  do Not use  sounds except in private whispers.

Please 
do Not ask questions of others, it may scare them .

It is not Okay to criticize anyone for any reason. If you have a problem, email me or send me a private message.
To Join:  please email  me with your connection to adoption:   joesoll@adoptionhealing.com

Your  screen name will usually  be your first name.

Your password will be emailed to you. 

Basic Feelings are: Mad, Sad, Glad, Fear, Shame, Guilt, Jealousy

Feelings Statement examples:

I am angry I was not raised by my natural mother.

I am sad I did not get to raise my child.

I'm afraid that I will die if I work on my pain.
Note:  Women who lost babies to adoption are referred to s "moms", "1st moms", or "natural moms". They are mothers of adoption loss. They did not give their babies to anyone. Their babies were taken by adoption.

Gossip inside and outside of our room hurts our mission of healing from adoption wounds. Please keep talk confidential, except in emergencies.

Please note: In private therapy details matter. In here, too many details dilute the emotions & are counter-productive. The most effective way of making progress is to make simple feeling sentences similar to those above.  When done this way, the feelings will not be pushed aside.  This is an example of Less being More.

I highly recommend Jane Rowan's pamphlet as an adjunct to the inner child work of my books!
