The Loss and the Gain

THE PARADOX

Deann Borshay Liem Talks About Identity After Adoption

Children who are adopted grow up and have to live with the loss and gain in a complicated life.

Adoptions have repercussions for adoptees

Besides what adoptees gain in their new country they also loose a lot !

• I lost everything I loved
• I lost my birthfamily and relatives
  
• I lost my Nation
  
• I lost Language
  
• I lost Identity
• I lost Memories
• ...........................
  

Adoption does not replace what is lost
