This alone makes me suspect of the quality of the help being offered...
What's the cost? If Joe Soll is involved, it ain't free!

This is my support group; Joe is merely helping me. It is free.

I know I'm not related to you, so how can we be reunited?

What I am doing is offering support to adoptees and mums. Apparently,
you are not, yet you criticise what I do. Is that fair?

I'm not criticizing what you do, just who you are affiliated with... I'm
kinda surprised it took you this long, and me having to tell you, to figure
that part out...

I am a reunited bmother (2 daughters)

It's like the grieving process 'in reverse'

They would never call me 'mother'

Their children would never call me 'grandmother', hence double and triple
grief

Why is life so cruel...

Because you expected something out of others they cannot provide...
