Adoption is a profound and life-altering experience that touches the lives of individuals in unique ways.

The Complex Trauma of Adoption. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Adoption is often seen as a beautiful journey of building families, but it’s also a journey rooted in profound loss and complex emotions. For many adoptees, being separated from their biological family is a foundational trauma that can deeply influence their lives. This experience can lead to what mental health professionals call "complex trauma"—a type of trauma that develops from prolonged, repeated exposure to emotionally distressing situations, often starting in childhood. Understanding the layers of trauma associated with adoption is key to supporting adoptees on their journey to healing.

Here I am trying to write my reflective journal for the week. I am stumped and I dislike writing it via the university platform.

The adopted child
I was born. I don’t know if she held me or just passed me off to the midwives straight away. I don’t know if she named me or if the agency came up with it.

My China Plate
My dad is daggy, he’s funny and he’s also embarrassing. He is loving and caring but he’s also my best mate. However, don’t ever let him run over your foot with his car, otherwise he will ask you ‘is your foot tyred?’ While you are jumping around on the other foot in pain.

She blows out the candles ‘Happy birthday my beautiful boy’ she says. I blow out the candles ‘Happy birthday our beautiful boy!’ My family says.

The Dreaded Root Rot
So you’ve bought a plant and given it too much love. Who isn’t guilty of this? You’ve checked her every day and thought the soil feels dry… ‘hmmm you need a drink, don’t you!’ You say to her. Little do you realise, you are slowly killing her from the bottom up. Her leaves start to go brown around the edges, her leaves start to curl. The whole plant looks so sad and saggy and you’re now either planning her burial or about to banish her outside for being such a spoilt little drama Queen. You then decide you should probably give her a check up. You take her out of her soil to find her once lush white roots are now nothing but black mush… is this game over? Is there any chance of revival?
