    Some of the pain you seem to express seems like it would be similar to that of natural parents who are estranged from their children for whatever reason.

    It's a sad and painful story.

    +1. I don't think this is unique to adoptive parents which makes me wonder if there is a group out there for this situation generally.

    If not, there needs to be someday as parents need a lot of support.

    I don't know what EMDR is. I hope it's helpful to you, though.

    Have you journaled your feelings? Keep in mind that I'm a writer, but this sounds like it would be a really helpful book for others in your situation, reading about how you've dealt with the situation and your feelings. I'm looking forward to when you've found a good therapy, whatever that may be, and are able to move on in that healthy direction you mentioned earlier.

    Just a thought. I do wish you well, whatever direction you take in healing.
