What are the gloomy aspects of human being relinquished for adoption?
The first one is the loss of our first families. Others include loss of self, identity issues, attachment issues, abandonment issues, feeling as though you don't fit within, and depression.
There are alot of complex things about adoption that are not made known in society. I'm tired of the stereotype that adoption is a win win for everyone.
FYI, most children relinquished are NOT taken due to abuse. They are given up by their parents at birth.
Negative aspects would include the breakdown of the artistic family unit, the sense of loss in the first parents and child, the attachment and trust issues that can evolve, and lots more. Source(s): Adoptee, mother of 5
In a closed adoption, not knowing who your birth household is or anything about your genetic history.
Being raise by strangers who are "assigned" parents -- who become parents some time AFTER the birth of the child.
Not living with Mom, Dad, Siblings (or some combination thereof) and trying to build relationships in adulthood near family members I have never prearranged.
Along with the other things listed by your other responders -- most of whom I agree with -- these are mine.
Answers: grief/loss
geneological bewilderment
issues of abandonment
feelings of rejection
"death" of all of your biological house
loss of genetic mirroring
in the case of TRA, loss of growing up with a household of the same race/ethnicity and/or speaking the same language
famine of ongoing, updated medical history
inability to obtain original birth documents
severing the birth bond with the inbred mother
and many more! Source(s): adult adoptee
Well probably a negative aspect is most children who are relinquished for adoption it is because, of abuse or abandonment.
