Adoption can be a beautiful journey, but it is also complicated. As adoptees, we carry a mix of emotions that don’t always make sense, even to us. This guide is meant to give you a glimpse into our world, helping you understand what’s going on inside our hearts and minds. It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about being there for us as we navigate this unique path. To truly connect with your child and create a space for a deeper, more meaningful bond to develop, it’s important to listen, learn, and understand things from our perspective. - Anna Bernacki
