How can i help my boyfriend cope with adoption?

[Theresa]

It's really considerate of you to ask this question.

Right now he needs to know he's not alone. There's a forum at http://www.AdultAdoptees.org that is adoptee only, and he'll get a lot of support from other people who have been there.

Probably the best thing you can do is read as much as you can about adoption to help you understand what he's going through. Some good books to start with are

The Primal Wound, Nancy Verrier

Lost & Found, The Adoption Experience

Also, there's a new Yahoo group forming for people who are partners of adoptees. The woman who is starting is is married to an adoptee and is looking for other people to join. If you're interested you can learn more at the link below

Best of luck to both of you.
