I could see the sweep of emotions playing across their faces and in their body language. One minute, the grandmother was laughing. The next, there were tears in her eyes. The grandfather just smiled and smiled. Adriana talked to her relatives and tried to wake the baby up. Her brother leaned on the bars with his arms folded against his eyes, and her sister turned away, overcome by sadness. On the U.S. side, a man in a wheelchair and two women with him looked happy just to have a chance to see their family again.

Recently, a member of our online community asked the group if the sadness of not having a biological child would ever go away. Our members came through for her with wisdom earned through their own experiences of adoption after infertility. We were able to sort the conversation among our members into four loose categories. As you can imagine, there were some overlaps between the categories as the members interacted and shared their stories.

When she realized she needed to grieve, one woman explained that intentionally opening the door to her grief allowed other emotions to surface and resolve. Still, another mentioned that the intensity of her sadness has diminished but not resolved entirely. When she occasionally still remembers the experience of her infertility grief, she feels a more distant sadness.

One member mentioned that being present with her sadness also leaves her free to engage the myriad other feelings that adoption brings. One typical result of this choice is the capacity for compassion over the losses her child has experienced. 59ce067264
