An Adoption Constellation's Guide to Core Issues: Overcoming Guilt and Shame

Learn how to combat feelings of guilt or shame as a birth parent, adoptive parent, or a child who has been adopted

Let’s acknowledge the reality – embarking upon an adoption journey is not without its challenges. Adoption is influenced by the seven core issues, and among them, the weight of guilt and shame can cause a ripple effect across the entire adoption constellation.

Dealing with guilt and shame can be complex and painful, but it’s important to recognize that these emotions are not uncommon and can be addressed when approached with empathy and openness.
