Confronting and long overdue
Thankyou for your truth telling. It’s long overdue. I spent most of the podcast in tears. I was the victim/survivor of forced adoption. I was adopted out at birth in 1965. I spent my childhood wondering why I was different. At age 17 my adoptive parents finally told me the truth. They had lied to me my entire childhood. Finding out was bittersweet; like a great weight was lifted from me, at the same time I was hit by a truck. I no longer had an identity. My life was never the same. I met my birth parents when I was in my 20s. I’m now 58 and I have lived with the impact of adoption every single day of my life, as has by birth mother. Being adopted has shaped every decision I have ever made and I will never forgive the government practices that allowed this to happen. My entire life I have felt worthless.
