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.

Health Newsletter
-----------------
Description:
Tired all the time? Wake up unrefreshed? Backaches,
headaches or joint pains? Low motivation? Depressed?
Violent mood swings sometimes? Chronic health problems?
Or worse?
The FREE Health Newsletters are mainly of interest to
those who have had a chronic health challenge for some
time, have become aware that "modern medicine" cannot
help them, and are seeking information to explain why
they are in this state and how they really can get better.
You will discover much that is very different from the
way you have been taught to think about health.
