Progress Notes

Naomi Sciorra and Claude Chan: Naomi is still resentful over the new wrinkle in the adoption issue, but she and Claude are faced with an even greater dilemma, ethically and personally, because if they want to adopt from China, Claude will be compelled to tell a lie on a formal document, essentially denying or repudiating her sexual orientation. Despising the hypocrisy of the whole situation, I found myself in a difficult position, encouraging the lie for the greater good of gaining the little girl. That may work for the woman, but not for the therapist, where I took sides, with regrettable results. I’m not sanguine about this; not at all. The three of us need to actively develop ways to reconcile the two partners, as well as reconcile all the implications inherent in Claude’s acquiescence (by signing the “heterosexual” affidavit) to a system that insists she conceal her identity. The more immediate goal, however, will be to help Naomi realize that she’s a valuable and vital part of the process.
