Indeed, every Arizona confidential intermediary hears it about adoption.

During our no-obligation phone consultations, clients say:

“My birth mother probably doesn’t want me to find her or she would have looked by now.”

OR

“My child must not want me to find him, because he never looked for me.”

Every variation of these thoughts, we hear it.

It’s important to realize these conclusions are not correct.

As an Arizona confidential intermediary, you would not believe how many people we contact who don’t know how to start the process, think they are “not allowed” to search for biological parents or a birth child, or never start the adoption search for the same reason – they think the other person is not interested.

Although it can be hard, don’t let negative thoughts stop you from the adoption search.

For example, this article on “jumping to conclusions” states:

“Start by gathering as much information as you can before you make a judgment or decision.”

Once you take this advice, you re-frame your mindset!

• Imagine you enter this situation feeling positive instead of negative.
• Imagine a caring, trusted professional who walks you through the confidential intermediary process, step by step.
• Imagine you fill the holes in your adoption story.
