Roots Research Center / Κέντρο Ερευνών Ρίζες

Adoptees should not only aim to find their biofamily and roots, agree or desagree for adoption procedures and rights, but also try to comfort younger adoptees and families, help families before and after adoption understand the trauma their children faced and still have to face till they are healed. Tell people why adoption is a trauma and especially when babies and young children have to stay in residential care away from family environment. Then its worth for adoptees to tell about their stories and not make falce impression about them. We all adoptees are obliged to make clear to the community that adoption has many difficult stages and not pretent that adoption stories have a happy ending. End of the myth, it needs a lot of effort and knowledge to make things work. We all are not victims but survivors. Dear Adoptees support our organization to help families and children.

Everyone talks about adoption but nearly no one talks about adoption trauma and the need of adoptees to discover their roots. Community and academics must realise that roots search is a huge chapter in every adoptees life.

All Greek adoptees have a licensed organization for roots search, its based in Athens Greece and is working with and for them, since 1998. Where ever a greek adoptee is adopted and lives, has homeland ears to listen to their aims and will support them by the Greek Laws as it should be. Of cource some adoptees do their own search and this is ok, but searching your own roots does not make you an expert. Giving to others advice is ok too, but representing them could be harmful. The organization has many years of experience, trainings, surpevision and cooperation with public sector. I will also mention respect and secrecy to the adoption triad because adoption is ones matter and not a public show or interest. Thank you for reading and I would appreciate a repost. https://lnkd.in/du-BtWmY

Μετά από 60 χρόνια θα γνωριστούνε. Με τη υπερήλικη μάνα που ίσως και να έχει ξεχάσει το νεανικό της δράμα και με τα αδέλφια που τώρα το έμαθαν και άνοιξαν την αγκαλιά τους. Η αδελφή λέει, από την ίδια μάνα είμαστε, αδέλφια, καλώς να ορίσει. Επόμενο στάδιο να έρθει από το εξωτερικό και να γνωριστούν. Για μένα ήταν μιά αναζήτηση περιπετιώδης αλλά με αίσιο τέλος. Έτσι λειτουργούμε στις Ρίζες με τρόπο, κόπο, σεβασμό και επιτυχία.
