Emotions that stem from the heart as an adoptee—feelings of abandonment, rejection, and loss—can't be rationalized away. They must be felt, processed, and validated.
Hi Louise, Thank you so much! I'm really touched that it resonates with you. I believe that getting into the soul of the adoptee is essential because it's in those deep, often unspoken places where true healing begins. It reminds me of how nature, like waterfalls or the vast sky, offers a similar sense of comfort and grounding for many of us, including myself. Sometimes the path to healing feels as natural as returning to those roots, even if they're different than the ones we expected. I'm grateful you're on this journey with me, and I'm always here to keep exploring it together! XOXO P

I love this and the different things we can do. Thanks for always getting into the soul of the adoptee. Beautiful.
