Discovering later in life that you are adopted can be a tremendous and devastating shock. It may go right to the core of your identity, causing you to question everything you believed to be true and to find it difficult to trust people in future. Margaret Watson was 40 when her husband revealed to her what he had known for the last seventeen years – that she was adopted. Here, Marg shares what the discovery was like for her.
You can find out more about Marg’s story in her book, “Surviving Secrets” available for loan through the PARC library. Marg will also be speaking at PARC’s Late Discovery workshop on 14 October 2010.
For more information on the workshop, or if you have recently discovered you are adopted and would like to talk to one of PARC’s counsellors, please contact us on 02 9365 3444 or 1300 659 814 within NSW.
