More Details...
First parent's experiences with relinquishment and adoption are often complicated and can result in feelings of helplessness or shame; we might be delighted or terrified of reunion, blissfully in the fog or raging as we surface from it. Wherever you are on the journey, you may find yourself stuck and at a loss for growing beyond the grief. One tool to move through the emotional turmoil is writing. Expressing our thoughts, fears, and emotions freely on the page can help diffuse the intense emotional energy and bring clarity. If you want to explore writing about your relinquishment and adoption experiences in a safe, supportive environment, please consider joining the CUB WRITING GROUP.
This is a once-per-month virtual space for first parents who are interested in writing about their relinquishment and adoption experiences. It is intended to facilitate the writer’s ability to process and learn about their own experiences. The group will provide a safe and supportive space to write collectively, using writing prompts and other tools to facilitate creativity. Writings can be kept private or shared with the group based on personal comfort and needs.
This group is not a therapy group, nor do therapists run it, and it is not a substitute for professional therapy. Facilitators are volunteering their time and expertise. They intend to use their lived experiences as first parents, writers, artists, and facilitators to support the group. Participants agree to practice exquisite self-care and seek professional help when needed.
