Thursday, March 31, 2011. I've taken the position of New Mexico Representative for American Adoption Congress. Within about two weeks of it becoming "official", I received an e-mail from a first-mom who had just renewed her lapsed membership. She is living in the same town as I am. I couldn't be more thrilled. I told her I've felt like I'm living in the Outback (which isn't that much of an overstatement for Southern New Mexico, actually). Friday, March 4, 2011. I've located my birthparents and know their...

Sunday, January 30, 2011. A conversation with a counsellor friend of mine yesterday has my inner-wheels turning. She was remarking that in recent interactions on adoption with 5 young ( 17-22) adoptees, she observed a markedly different "comfort level" than that she has seen in those of my generation (40's). January 30, 2011 at 9:48 AM. Interesting conversation you had with your friend :-). I think adoption is still heavily stigmatized today. Perhaps in different ways and in a more covert manner....I thi...

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. I'm finishing up transcribing my recent chat with late-discovery adoptee Jenni Dyman, and in the meantime have noted an interesting parallel in the news- the recently discovered Russian spies/agents. Working for a good cause could naturally be a factor. I also wonder whether some people get a sense of power over others by possessing secrets? In the "adoption healing" circle we generally consider secrets to be toxic. In my personal life, I feel like no experience is real or a...

Saturday, July 31, 2010. After a delay due to technical difficulty, it's here- excerpts from my conversation with new friend and late-discovery adoptee Jenni Dyman. On June 23, I traveled to Albuquerque, NM, to meet fellow adoptee Jenni Dyman. Jenni is currently the New Mexico Representative for the American Adoption Congress, which is how we became acquainted. Here, our interview began. A: It was relief. Q: How do you mean? Q: So you were relieved to not have “come from them”? A: Yes. When I told my...

Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Adoption Crossroads Conference, NYC. Fans of author/adoptee Joe Soll: if you love his books, you should see the conference he puts on. This past weekend I attended. Shedding Light on the Adoption Experience, VI. In New York City. Joe had great programming, and I met some of my heros in the field- Betty Jean Lifton, Ann Fessler, and best of all, Nancy Verrier. I can't thank Joe, and all,. For the wonderful experience. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Seven down, 43 to go. Il...

Monday, December 20, 2010. Adoptees, be prepared. The adoptee character is the most tragic. Thursday, December 2, 2010. I recently received a nice card from my Mother, who hasn't initiated a contact with me in several years. (I have contacted her during that time, usually once every 6-9 months.) Her words were really kind and she looks forward to chatting. She signed her name in its ethnic spelling (Ukrainian)- that felt like a little gift to me. And guilt is holding her back.
