I am a first mother who lost my first-born son to closed adoption. Many of us are familiar with the damage caused by adoption loss. This forum has been created for first mothers (formerly known as birth mothers) and for their lost sons and daughters who became adoptees. Many adoptive parents have started to recognize the wounds created by adoption. Adoptees, as well as their first mothers, may try to hide their wounds. Forums give these hurting people an opportunity to air their feelings, and to connect with others like themselves.
