Any other reaction than that is considered negative and wrong and adoptee quickly learn to become silent believing their innermost emotions are incorrect and learn to not trust their gut feelings and instincts. Adoptees then grow and become adults and begin to realize the magnitude of loss that has been buried, unrecognized, and denied them and as it surfaces the loss and trauma becomes evident. As I said I never deal in absolutes loss and trauma or none at all are personal to each adoptees adoption experience. The point of #flipthescript is to acknowledge all adoptee voices from happy, to sad, to painful, to all of them if that is the case. Most people who are unaware, hence the reason for the #flipthescript campaign, and uneducated to the depth adoption issues can bring to the family unit. Adoption creates families in a very different way than other families hence each adoptee has a unique voice about adoption. Many adoptees feel very misunderstood and unheard about how adoption has impacted their lives. #flipthescript reaches out to all adoptees to empower them to be heard and better understood.
