Scenario

Grieving biological children you never had while loving your adopted child

I adopted a child after years of infertility and I love him fiercely but sometimes I still grieve the biological children I never had and feel ashamed of that grief.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The heart can simultaneously hold gratitude and loss, loving what is while mourning what was never possible.
