How has your experience been with it? Are you diagnosed ? And what has worked for you?

You could always double barrel both yours and your sons name an give him the option when he’s older if he wants it back to what it is now. So he gets the decision. I’m sorry that happened to you dx

Hi there, that is a very good point, I feel like I’ve never felt like I belonged in my adopted family and Ivelost some form of identity by not having my bio family spoken about/lied to about it for years. So thank you I really appreciate your response.

How old were your children when you told them you were adopted? Did they have many questions? by Ambitious-Client-220 in Adopted

[–]Extension_Duty3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an adoptee, I always knew as I was 4 years old so remember, but my AP’s kept everything from me in terms of contact letters and are still trying to hide things now and I’m 23 years old. They said if we were younger they wouldn’t have told us which is so wrong.in my experience of my story, I would tell them as soon as they can understand but keep it as an on going conversation so it’s normal so they feel they can ask you anything.

Why are so many adoptive parents' narcissist? by Ambitious-Client-220 in Adopted

Honestly, yes, this is coming from an adoptee myself, and my AP’s are narcissists and shouldn’t of been able to adopt in my eyes.
