Synchronicity & Reunion
- Stiffler, LaVonne Harper
“After the search process (taking days, years, or a lifetime) reunion may be accomplished through a telephone call, a letter, or a face-to-face meeting. Even in those reunions that have elements of disappointment, rejection, or death, fantasy is replaced with reality, and the searcher can deal with the known actualities and move on. Adoptees report the bond to their birth families as a deep longing for kinship, generational lines, and connection with all humanity. Upon reunion, both adoptees and birthparents report “completion” in recognizing one’s own blood identity, a life-course moment that seems crucial to their future development.”
