Adult Adoptee Mental Health Class with Jeanette Yoffe M.F.T.

Adoptee's have, by the very act of adoption, gone through a lot. By the time adoptees are adults, they have survived separation from their birth parents, have acclimated to a new family, have dealt with fantasy and fears, have confronted identity issues, and have navigated relationships. The awareness of having survived such stages and transitions can give adoptee's strength and determination in various areas of their lives. The downside of this feeling of survival is that some adoptee's find it difficult to depend on others and instead are very independent. It is important for adoptees to realize that healthy relationships involve interdependence- depending on one's self and depending on others. (Russell, 1996)
