Adoptees are an invisible community, living in plain sight, but whose adopted status is unseen by others. They share a fundamental core experience of separation from their mother or primary caregiver that leaves a deep psychic wound, no matter how well they fare later in life. The powerful effects of this developmental trauma can last a lifetime.

Imaginally, there’s an orphan who lives within them. The orphan is homeless, restless, disconnected, and searching for something or someone it can’t find, including its very soul. For some, the orphan’s persistent presence may intermittently arise through feelings and behavior at any stage or circumstance. No orphan, however, is beyond redemption. The lost orphan can be found in the shadows and brought to the safety and security of light. Disconnection can be healed by loving reconnection.

Stephen Rowley, Ph.D., who is a psychotherapist practicing in Washington. His past professional experience includes serving as principal, and a school district superintendent. He has been a college professor at three universities and received his  Ph.D.  from Stanford University. In today’s episode, we talk about his new book The Lost Coin: A Memoir of Adoption and Destiny.
