Triad

Living with the fact that you have relinquished a child, your own flesh and blood, not knowing where it is nor how it is doing. Living with the fact that you were abandoned by your own mother and then adopted by people who are complete strangers to you. Living with the fact that you are not the only mother of your child, but are actually raising someone else's child. Triad is the personal story of Margot ten Pas. In a sincere and eye-opening way, she describes the emotional journey as lived by the birthmother, the adopted child as well as the adoptive mother. The idealized image we generally have of adoption is conclusively rejected. After all, adoption is not a fairy tale. Adoption usually means living with hidden grief and silent pain.
