In researching this page, I’ve come across several mentions of adoptees committing suicide that didn’t include any names. I’m only posting adoptees who have at least a first name given. Just know that this list is far, far from all the lost adoptees.
If you are suicidal, please get help. Here is a list of suicide helplines around the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines
