Responding to the concerns of the adopted child

Summary/Abstract: The knowledge of her adoption. Upon the advice of professionals, we read books to her, answered her questions as truthfully as possible, and granted her request to meet her birth mother. This meeting has left her with many mixed feelings about the adoption which were not present beforehand. She is now expressing that she “misses” her birth mother and has started to deny that we are her “real parents.” What do we do?
