MAILING LISTS ======================================= AdopteesAreSurvivors -------------------- Description: Adoptees are Survivors is a support group for those of us who have dealt with any kind of abuse in our lives. This ranges from anywhere, our adoptive homes, birth families and in our relationships. Adoptees often have many issues to face and work through. It is very painful when joined with the mental, emotional, and physical pain of abuse. We can support one another and find peace within together. Feel free to share here what ever you may need. There are no restrictions to what is right and what is wrong. We have spent enough time in our lives being forced to think one way or another. It is time we can be free to express ourselves as who we really are. There is one rule and that is respect for one another.
