Thank you. This was a very long time ago and back in those years, understanding of trauma was limited, and unfortunately still can be even today. Issues like "Loss" and "Abandonment", and grieving from a birth mother were understood at large. People don’t understand how a child could grieve parents they never met or knew about. Adopted children and adults need to know the truth, as that’s their reality and their identity relies upon knowing who they are, so it is not fair to deprive an adopted child of that.
