The adoption story is a part of a child’s identity that should be told as they grow. It is a way to help them understand why they were born, and it will give them a better grasp of their journey to becoming a part of your family. It is also a way to help them connect with their birth family, if they have one (or if the child is in an open adoption).

Having a story to tell can calm and lift adoptive parents when their stress level gets high. It can inspire them and help them remember the good times in their journey. It is also a way to make sure that they can talk about their children with the people who are closest to them. Writing is a great way to relieve stress, and many adoptive parents find that it is the best way to share their experience with others.

Adoption stories have become a burgeoning trend, with many adoptive parents finding themselves in the publishing business. It is not uncommon for parents to publish memoirs about their adoption experiences, or even children’s books meant to be used as a tool to teach their adopted child.

While it is okay to share positive aspects of your adoption story, it is important not to share private details with those outside of your triad. It is your child’s right to have privacy, and telling a child’s story publicly can cause them to feel that they are being rejected by their birth parent(s) or a family member.
