I am so impressed by your personal mission and your books!
Here's something anecdotal that I've never brought up to you, but it fits in with this post. When I was young, late teens, early twenties, I was deeply involved with the hardcore punk/goth scene. One thing that began to be very apparent to me was that a huge majority of those lost children were adoptees. Runaways or kicked out or foster kids who had originally been adopted....
Fast forward to my thirties when I worked with a year-long Jungian art-based transformation workshop. Out of the six classes I taught in, again, a vast majority of those seeking counsel and transformation brought their adopted stories to the table as their original wounding. Either as an adoptee or a mother who adopted out her child.
