Adoption: Tell or not to Tell
by Romana Schlesingerova
The adoption in its pure meaning is a gesture of hope and new life for children that had not the chance to be born in the whole family, who were neglected, fighting their little wars on streets or eating from trash cans until the social workers find them and accommodated them. For some of those it was even worse, coming to a place, where dozens of the same stories found their way. The only thing left had been the hope- the hope for luck to be adopted. For these kids, the old dilemma of tell-or-not-tell about the adoption is resolved. Let`s think about those, who were adopted as infants, small babies in diapers, not able to remember a thing, a single memory of who their real parents were, where they were born and how they found their happiness in another family. Those can be endangered by the reality. Their lives can suddenly change from a heaven to hell. This is the reason why the majority of parents that once adopted are so concerned about the decision- Tell or not to tell? People always worried, that when their adoptive child find out about hers/his real origin, he/she will immediately pack one suitcase and left the home to find the HOME. That`s why there where so many children that had no clue about the fact that they had been adopted, in the past. New research challenges the common perception that adoption negatively impacts a child's self-esteem. A study by a Dutch researcher shows that adopted children tend to overcome developmental and emotional problems, and achieve a normal level of self-esteem. Don't worry, your child can be disoriented or confused, but at the end of the day, he/she will know who the mama really is.
