Adoptive Parents & Adopted Children: Supporting a Lifelong Journey
Adoption is not just a past event.
It is a life journey that can resurface at different times: in childhood, adolescence, adulthood, in romantic relationships, at the birth of a child, or during major personal transitions.
At Vis Tes Rêves, we often meet families and adopted individuals who share the same feeling:
that of loving deeply, but not always knowing how to understand each other.
Situations We Frequently Observe
From the Perspective of Adopted Individuals
Many ask questions that have not always found a space to be expressed:
Who am I beyond my adoption? Where do I come from? Why do certain emotions return at different times in my life?
These questions can be accompanied by:
-
Feelings of divided loyalty between adoptive and biological parents,
-
Fear of hurting by talking about one's origins,
-
Feeling of carrying an incomplete story,
-
Need to build a meaningful identity.
From the Perspective of Adoptive Parents
Many parents experience another reality:
the fear of losing the bond, of no longer being recognized in their role, or of not knowing how to support their child's search for their origins.
They often ask themselves:
How can I remain a guide without disappearing? How can I set boundaries without causing pain? How can I support without directing?
An Approach Focused on Connection, Not Conflict
Our support does not seek to determine who is right or wrong.
It seeks to create a space where everyone can be heard and recognized in their experience.
We start from a simple idea:
the need for belonging and the need for truth can coexist.

Mediation: When Dialogue Becomes Difficult
When words no longer flow, we offer mediation sessions in a neutral, respectful, and confidential setting.
These times allow for expressing feelings, hearing each other's expectations, and building concrete commitments to move forward together.

A space to speak without fear of hurting or being judged

At Vis Tes Rêves, we believe that every story deserves to be honored.
And that the bond can evolve, transform, and strengthen, even after periods of doubt or silence.
