So You're Adopted Late Discovery Adoptee Greeting Card

"So, You're Adopted? " Late Discovery Adoptee Greeting Card: Each piece of clothing becomes a bold and unique statement, and every item tells a story.

Front of Card: "So, You're Adopted?

Inside Card: "I'm so sorry. I can't imagine your feelings, but I'm here for you!"

This adoption greeting card speaks to many late discovery adoptees. Our non-adopted friends and family sometimes can't fully understand the journey because they aren't adopted themselves. Sometimes, it's hard to find the right words to say, so this card is a great addition to the adoption constellation and for anyone who knows or loves an adoptee who didn't find out they were adopted until later in life.

I have learned from LDAs (late discovery adoptees) I have come to know and love that this experience is shattering to the lives of those who don't learn they are adopted until later in life. Talk about rocking your world and everything you always knew being a lie, which is exceptionally painful for adoptees worldwide. It means the world to adoptees to know that those close to us want to learn and listen to our experiences. This adoptee card serves as a warm hug of understanding because understanding is love.

Fun fact: Why is all the emporium merchandise a dollar amount and 21 cents? I was twenty-one years old when I found and met my birth mother. It was the best day of my life and a symbolic experience in my adoption journey. Sadly, I met her once, and she shut me out forever. The best day of my life was the worst because I never heard from her again. Twenty-one years of agony passed, hoping she would change her mind. But she never did.

Surviving this abandonment and rejection has been one of the most harrowing experiences of my life, but I made it. At one point, I was convinced I would die from a broken heart, but today, my heart is healed, and I feel whole. I am here to share my story and let other adoptees know they aren't alone and their feelings are normal for a not-normal situation. Nothing is normal about being separated from our biological parents at the beginning of life.
