Adoption
Adoption impacts on all members of the adoption triangle and thier extended families. For adoptive parents, adoption may have come after a long struggle with infertiliy, possibily followed by a long and uncertain process of being in an adoption pool. For birth parents who had to surrender their child for adoption the pain of this loss is often lifelong. Adopted people can also have their own struggles associated with identity and what being adopted means to them. The emotional impacts of all these issues can often remain burried until they are ignited by life events such as the possibility of a reunion or the birth/death of a significant other.
