He has been in reunion with maternal family members since 2006, and in 2021 also connected with his paternal side. Greg is a facilitator and interviewer for Fireside Adoptees, a private Facebook group founded in 2021, which is committed to additional outreach through its Fireside Adoptees public Facebook page and the Fireside Adoptees Constellation private Facebook group. Greg is also an administrator and facilitator within the Adoption Trauma Network and a leader for the New Hampshire chapter of Adoptees Connect. He enjoys connecting with others in the online adoptee community, and has found these interactions to be richly rewarding and supportive. =============== \ud83d\udcc6 Community Calendar: UnravelingAdoption.com\/Calendar \ud83d\udc8cSign up for our Unraveling Adoption email list: http:\/\/eepurl.com\/hVIAVX =============== RESOURCES: &amp;nbsp; Greg\u2019s information:   Greg on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/greggentry22\/   Greg on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100070242835691   Fireside Adoptees private Facebook group: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1411791922534076   Fireside Adoptees Constellation &amp;amp; Legislation private Facebook group: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/616673970200012   Adoption Trauma Network: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/adoptiontrauma   Adoptees Connect: https:\/\/adopteesconnect.com\/   &amp;nbsp; Other Resources:   APtitude: A Support Group for Adoptive Parents Facing Adoption\u2019s Challenges: UnravelingAdoption.com\/APtitude   Other Parents Like Me - &amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/other.parents.like.me   Heather Ross - Life Coaching for Parents of Addicted Teens: https:\/\/heatherrosscoaching.com\/   Find a Tele-Therapist: https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapists\/online-counseling   =============== Unraveling Adoption is produced and hosted by Beth Syverson Music written and performed by Joseph Nakao Email questions or comments to Beth@UnravelingAdoption.com Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube Support UnravelingAdoption on Patreon: Patreon.com\/UnravelingAdoption www.UnravelingAdoption.com =============== TIME STAMPS: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;2:26 Greg\u2019s adoption story and childhood &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;9:30 Greg\u2019s first blood relative he met - the importance of mirroring 11:50 The pros and cons of open adoption 13:50 Greg\u2019s reunion experiences 19:10 \u201cComing out of the fog\u201d 25:45 How Fireside Adoptees helped Greg transition out of the fog 32:00 Adoption Trauma Network description 34:50 What makes Adoptees Connect so special? 43:20 Greg\u2019s advice to adoptive parents ","author_name":"Unraveling Adoption","author_url":"http:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/452856\/site","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/26195976\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/147951492"}
