My son thinks his adoption was corrupt and he know hates me. How can I fix this?


My son is 16 years old and was adopted internationally in 2001. Shortly after his adoption, international adoptions from his country were stopped due to allegations of corruption.My son has recently discovered that the adoption facilitator we used was arrested for issues associated with corrupt adoption practices. Many of the children she facilitated the adoptions of either had issues with paperwork, accusations of coerced relinquishment, accusations of buying babies, and accusations of switched identities. There is no way to say whether my son's adoption involved any of that. He just knows that it's a possibility and has been blaming me for that.He wants to find his biological mom (whom he now refers to as his real mom) to find out his true story. We were told that he was left abandoned by a church and have no records of his birth family, so all of that is pretty much impossible. I have explained that to my son and he lashed out at me saying that this is all my fault.I am struggling on what to do her. We have always had such a great bond and he is an awesome and well adjusted kid. He is on his school academic team and plays soccer and baseball. He is well liked by his peers. Everything was fine until he made this discovery. I have suggested therapy but he said he doesn't want to go. I can't exactly force him in the car. Any ideas on what I can do to help my son?Edit: Title should say, "My son thinks his adoption was corrupt and he now hates me. How can I fix this?" via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2rn0GFP
