Adoption and BPD?

Most of what I read refers to abuse in early years as a breeding ground for BPD, but what about adoption? I was adopted and sometimes I think I exhibit some of the same symptoms. Seems to me that an abandonment at birth could have a deep psychological impact.

Yes I am adopted and I believe that is why I have it. Than abuse happened to me later on.

But I was also born in a rather poor country and was malnourished.

I was adopted, which created the initial problem with abandonment.

But I also was abused by my adoptive parents from early childhood until my teenage years.

An ex of mine is severely BPD and was adopted. She never experienced any kind of abuse her entire life. In fact, she led a life most of us could only imagine having. She grew up knowing she was adopted and always felt abandoned.

I'm not adopted myself, but I have talked to some adoptees who say they have serious abandonment issues. It seems to be very consistent. Some adoptees say that virtually every person who is adopted will develop abandonment and identity problems, that it's simply a matter of time before they are acknowledged. Others disagree strongly. The adoption world is extremely political and emotionally charged, so discussions tend to be heated...

An often-referenced book on this subject is "The Primal Wound" by Nancy Verrier.

I was adopted the minute i was born. I never felt consciously upset or sad about it but until after I was diagnosed with borderline and the idea that adoption was a big player in my abandonment issues did I start feeling upset. It's like every time I talk about it I feel like I'm going to cry which is completely new to me because I was fine with the idea before. Was anyone like this too?

Any kind of stressor related to the care of a child can bring about the symptoms. I haven't been adopted or "abused" as such yet the cyclic nature of being offloaded from parent to parent over my life has left me with these issues.
