September 10, 2009. God Bless McClatchy Newspapers! 8212; adoptionbeat @ 10:33 pm. Disclaimer: Although I try to keep myself out of my blogs about media coverage of adoption, my interest is rooted in extensive knowledge of the social phenomenon so it is hard to withhold examples from my experience.

Do we need to share our pain? | Adoption Beat
https://adoptionbeat.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/do-we-need-to-share-our-pain
April 18, 2013. Do we need to share our pain? 8212; adoptionbeat @ 7:50 pm. One of the common threads among adoptees. It’s something we felt long before we could understand it. And we are exquisitely sensitive to losses that occur throughout our lives. I’ve suffered my share of loss, no greater than anyone else’s, but poignant to me.
