Hi there, I'm a separated father of two teenage boys. I was adopted from birth, but despite growing up in a safe and kind environment, it has become an issue of increasing importance to me over the last few years. For most of my life I have been a musician and sound technician, now I am also studying Psychotherapy and means of a career change. I'm hoping to start or join a group of fellow adoptees, as a forum for support, exchange, exploration, of our feelings, issues and experiences as adopted people. As part of my studies I take part in a weekly group session which is of a general nature. I have found this very beneficial in my development and growth as a person, and it continually makes me aware that it could be a great template for helping people who want to work on issues connected with adoption. I'm proposing to set up a group which would meet once a month for approximately 3 hours, most likely in the evening. I can choose a location when I know how many people would be interested. I look forward to hearing from you. With care, Peter

       Hi Ben, I think it would be fine for you to come along. I'm sure there would be things about your experience which would be similar to that of an adopted person. There might also be some interesting differences. Hope to see you next time, and contact me if you have any questions. Best wishes, Peter

      Hello! I joined this group cause I have been thinking maybe it's time to explore some of my adoption experience a little deeper. I met my birth mother (and father) about 14 years ago. It's all pretty good...but...you know...it's layered....

       Hi Kelly, thanks so much for joining the adoptees group. I'm new t this and this will be the first meeting. I'm hoping that others will join, if not before this meeting hopefully by the next one. Would you still like to meet up if it just the two of us? It's not exactly what I had in mind but I guess everything has to start somewhere. Let me know where you are in the city and we can choose something that is easy for us both. Happy 2008, take care, Peter

      Hi,, fellow adoptee here. I met my birth mom about 10 years ago. I'd love to here other adoptee's stories and share my own. Have we all had similar feelings/experiences?
