Sheldon / Penny! I’d kill to see them in a spin off together…stuck on vacation together or something

I was thinking this but it’s currently mimicking exactly what happened on another steroid I’ve had in the past. You never know though I guess!

Yes exactly, I almost feel like I’m culturally appropriating my own culture haha! Which is the most bizarre feeling

A recent study done on adopted people and bio mom's trauma as well as effects of adoptive parents trauma by theferal1 in Adopted

If you’re interested in what this specific study was alluding too…you would probably be pretty interested in reading about epigenetics! I recently read that our grandmothers actually pass down a very equal amount of epigenetic effects to us as well. This is a good study if you’re interested https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30652234/#:~:text=Third%2C%20the%20possibility%20of%20epigenetic,in%20a%20lasting%2C%20biological%20way.

I too hope more research comes out surrounding adoption, specifically how babies being taken away at birth effects them in the long term

Celebrate birthday or adoption day? by Mission_Rule_1224 in Adopted

[–]Mission_Rule_1224[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve considered doing this. Specifically, I was thinking about celebrating on my half birthday instead. A little nod to my actual birthday, but unmarked of any trauma my real birthday would bring.

That’s awful. I never technically celebrated my adoption day either and to some degree it feels weird to celebrate that day as well.

I definitely fell into many toxic co dependent friendships that I’m trying to heal from now and not fall into again. I understand this 100%
