This case study is the story of the secrets of a woman who was adopted at birth. It is about how this woman's experiences, her perceptions, her fantasies, and her realities were all colored by the fact of her being adopted. It is the story about a woman who was victimized from childhood and how her perceptions of herself as a victim, unloved, uncared for, and alone, caused her to draw people to her to continually repeat the abandonment and victimization she suffered when she was given up for adoption by her birth parents.
