X-WR-CALDESC:Ron Nydam\nThe Trouble with Love – Adoptee Style\n\nThe wound 
 of relinquishment may have a great deal of influence on the romantic attra
 ction that adoptees sometimes experience. “Why do we marry the people we m
 arry?” “How is it that romantic attraction leads us to one person and not 
 to another?” Ron Nydam will dive into the topic and discuss whether the in
 jury of relinquishment becomes the guiding point that informs adoptees con
 cerning the way in which their love lives actually play out. This very unc
 onscious process is key to a deeper understanding of why we love the way w
 e love and shines a light on why many adoptees make unconscious choices “f
 alling in love” that reflect an unfinished personal struggle with the impa
 cts of relinquishment. It is precisely what we do not know about ourselves
  that gets us in the most trouble. \n\nAbout Ron Nydam\, Ph.D\nThroughout 
 his careers as a pastor\, a counselor\, and a professor\, Ron has had a ke
