Children who are adopted can often feel rejected by their birth parents. These feelings can go unaddressed because it is often difficult for the child to know why they might feel angry, rejected, or confused. These leads to a situation in which their anger builds over time. Adopted children often grieve the loss of their birth family and genetic identity. Children who are adopted must understand the grieving phase and go through it in order to adequately heal. Adoption is a blessing, but it is important to understand these issues for the health of everyone involved.
