My Story

Even though my adoptee life on planet earth began with great loss, it didn’t mean that I couldn’t thrive and climb the heights. It's been a tremendous challenge, however, because I grew up with an attachment disorder that made healthy relationships difficult...especially with my adoptive mom. Years later, what began as a fairy-tale reunion with my first mother, ended in gut-wrenching rejection. But, in the depths of that pit, I gained a sense of who I really am, and was able to go on with new confidence and purpose. Thanks to Ancestry.com, I found the paternal side of my family two years ago. My husband Bob and I have been married for 57 years and have two daughters and six grandchildren.

My Letter To You

envelope-img

Dear Fellow Adoptee,

I’m one determined adoptee in the latter stages of life, desiring to show the way toward a secret path I’ve discovered. Please know that it’s a narrow path and Nancy Verrier’s PRIMAL WOUND fans would miss it. The work I’ve done on this path can be done by adoptive and first parents-to find freedom from their painful, condemning selves.

This path led me to inner work that set me free my non-existent self-worth that I lost when my first mother disappeared from my presence after giving birth.

Please share my writings and art from this site? My approach is simply as a fellow adoptee friend. Adoptees often feel comfortable walking with me because we speak the same heart language. We can read one another’s body language. It’s a precious connection that enhances receptivity the opening of adoptee eyes to embrace true self-worth.

Love,

Sherrie
