“I’ve never seen that
expression on my daughter’s face. Look at her! Her face is absolutely glowing! Thank you for the gift of fellow adoptee
friendships.”
Here are the blessings of fellow-adoptee friendships:
- We Are Like Family. Linda says that knowing adoptees has created a
wonderful bond because there is a kind of “sisterhood” and “brotherhood”
amongst us.
- We Are Drawn to One Another. Gary said that his young daughter seemed to gravitate
to other adoptees in her preschool class. Of course she didn’t know they
were adoptees, but there was that pull.
- We Have a Unique Emotional Language. Adoptees can “read” each other from just a few words or
their body language, which she says makes adoptees feel like they belong
to each other.
- We are like Triple-Chocolate Cake. I never had an adoptee friend until I was forty-five.
Her name is Jody Moreen. We spent hours in our favorite little tea room
sipping spiced tea and “talking adoption.” Life doesn’t get much better
than that!
