Hello,

I'm new to this group, and fairly new to tribe. I'd like to connect to other adoptees, and I'm also wondering if there are any other international adoptees from Europe here.

After a long time of not really connecting with other people who were adopted, I'm feeling the need to. I recently finished an eight week long process group for adoptees. It was a good experience to begin to talk about those feelings again, and I'd love to make some connections with people that have shared similar experiences.

A little bit about me: I was adopted when I was four and a half from Lisbon, Portugal. My birth sisters were also brought here, but we were adopted into different familes. I found them both about ten years ago, and we've been in touch ever since. I haven't had much luck finding my birthmother, who is still in Portugal. I haven't done any searching recently, since it's very emotionally draining and I want to be in a place where I'm ready for that energy investment.

I'm also a very creative person, so I would love to hear from other people who are exploring their creativity and spirituality, as well.
