in Adoption
Feeling insecure
Me and my husband adopted my siblings 4 years ago and now all of our friends are starting to have babies of their own I’m very happy for them that’s not what this is about but I feel like less of a mother around them it may be selfish but I envy them and at this point when they are all talking about their experiences mine are different and I feel less then I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help it looking for someone who has similar struggles

Adoption is much more beautiful and harder. So you are just as much as a mum, if not, even more so. They did it the easy way. Sending best wishes ❤️
I agree, I feel the same! I have two step sons and although I’ve been here since they were 2 and 3y/o and I still parent them. I don’t feel like even though I’m doing the same things with our children that they are that I can have an opinion or even engage in the conversations that’s my friends with kids have sometimes. Unless they ask I don’t even feel comfortable discussing because I haven’t actually birthed any children
Adoption doesn’t heal trauma. In fact it creates trauma. You need to grieve that you cannot or are might not be able to have your own children.
