Negative Events
Our lives are messy and complex - which makes it interesting for us, but a bit difficult for the social worker! No doubt almost everyone will have had a negative event that has happened in your life prior to coming to adoption. This could be anything from failed marriages, to death of a loved one, to loss of job, home, relationship.
In an ideal world we would carry no emotional scars from these events - but we do not live in an ideal world. Major events leave major marks on our selves and our lives.
These will be looked at to see if you have experienced the events, come to terms with them and then moved on. It is imperative that you are able to handle and come to terms with life's negative events and that you have learnt from them and they no longer have an emotional meaning in your life. You have moved on.
