If you're an adoptee, you may recognize these points as adoption trauma that can activate or reactivate across a lifetime.

Sharing my work: Adoption Lifespan Activation Framework + the Adoption Trauma Spectrum.

#adoptee #adoptiontrauma #adoption #relinquishmenth

Infographic titled "The Adoption Lifespan Activation Framework: A Lifespan Model of Adoption Trauma." Three stacked sections. Top: "Core Theoretical Foundations" — seven bodies of theory grouped as Trauma & Loss (Relinquishment Trauma, Complex PTSD, Ambiguous Loss, Disenfranchised Grief) and Attachment & Identity (Attachment Theory, Cultural-Racial Identity Model, Adoptee Consciousness Model). Middle: "The Adoption Trauma Spectrumjj" — nine activation points where trauma can surface or resurface: Relinquishment, Preverbal, Awareness, Adolescence, Late Discovery, Parenthood/Fertility, Reunion, Rejection, Complicated Grief. Bottom: five Developmental Domains — Early Relational Event, Adoption Context, Meaning-Making, Psychosocial Processes, and Psychosocial Outcomes (ranging from Healthy to Challenging). Arrows link the sections: foundations "ground," the spectrum "moderates." Image 2 (Adoption Trauma Spectrum): Dark navy graphic titled "The Adoption Trauma Spectrum." A single point on the left branches out via dashed lines to nine colored bars on the right, each a trauma activation point: Relinquishment, Preverbal, Awareness, Adolescence, Late Discovery, Parenthood, Reunion, Rejection, and Complicated Grief. Footer reads "Adoption Trauma Spectrum Framework."
