Topics We Discussed

Our own experiences of secondary rejection
Auto-immune disorder frequency in adoptees
Soul pain
What happens for us after we get the rejection - or realize we’ve been rejected
Coping tools: pushups ;), walking, breathing, water
Sounds basic but we need to acknowledge that this is a big deal!
The pain can literally feel physical, it can feel like someone has died.
“We can’t get rid of the pain, we need to learn to live with it”
“There is nothing abnormal about us feeling soul pain”
First Family Free!
Would you internet stalk after secondary rejection?
