I can somewhat understand what you are feeling. I was not adopted but I was raised by my stepmother and my father.
I will pray for you and your family.
Something that has been encouraging to me especially lately is the Psalms that states:
"When my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will take me up." Ps.27:10
I feel that because I feel this loss, the LORD draws me close, and I can know Him as my Father in such a real way that I may not know Him if I had a mother and an earthly "daddy".
Hope that encourages you as it has encourages me.

I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another.

"The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes...."
That's for you and for her. Once the gospel is understood as described in details in the links, then faith in self, in trying to be saved by doing good, etc must be rejected and transfered to Jesus as the Object of trust/ faith. At the minute you call upon the Lord Jesus to save you, you receive the gift of everlasting life and the Holy Spirit lives quietly within you. The demons are no longer able to enter that temple of the Holy Spirit.
There were two links in my previous post highlighted in blue. Please watch them with a Bible to look up verses. Please pray with one of the men in those after having any questions answered on the topic here....
Bible Way to Heaven
After receiving the life that Jesus offers, then you have the benefit of the Holy Spirit within. He will allow no other spirit to have/ possess you. After that, we can talk about other specific ways to keep them from messing with your life in other ways. Going to sleep now but talk to you soon.
Good night

It's great that you are saved!
I would study my soul winning videos and memorize Scriptures to become a better soul winner, because sometimes it's more difficult to lead your own family to the Lord. I would also find a church like the one below in the link to attend. They have scheduled times through the week that you can go along as a silent partner with a more experienced one who has led many to Christ. He will do all of the talking, so it's easy and it's the best way to learn how to bless your own family.
That's tough when it's your own Mom.
I would fast and pray for her. She needs a soul winner like that or in the links to lead her to Christ. Unfortunately, the so called deliverance ministers I've heard didn't know the gospel. I've checked out many. Even if they cast out the demon, that would not solve the problem. It could return with more powerful devils.
I have a training video available that gives a soul winning demonstration. If you happen to have a similar Church that actively wins people to Christ in your area, they would help you directly by visiting her and following through. That would be most effective. Check out the link and ask if you have questions. I used to attend a church like that and demon possession was an occurrence in the community. We'd go to cast them out and get the folks saved. I remember a group of college students who played a Ouija board and there was serious possession. They called the church and the pastor and his assistant showed up immediately. I followed up. The demons fled and some of the students trusted Christ as their Savior. Was that what you meant when you mentioned that board your Mom used?

Isn't it crazy how those are sold in toy stores like they're an innocent game?
People don't know how dangerous they can be. That must have been the toughest thing in your life. My heart goes out to you.
I would do everything you can to follow my last couple of posts anyway. In addition, you can pray for her and other members of your family that might not be saved. God can open doors of opportunity that we don't know about now. Eventually, He may do that at a time when she is receptive to the gospel. I would not give up because my Dad's life was returned when I was just 5. He was spared death a number of times throughout his life until he left this world. Two months before he died, he decided to trust Jesus to save him, knowing that it has absolutely nothing to do with his behavior. Once he was saved, he will always be saved. Jesus gave him that.gift of Everlasting life. I pray that you will find a good local church that you or a new friend can offer that to your Mom some day. That will be worth more than all of the money in the world.
I just asked our Lord in tears that He would send you to a good church like this, or perhaps receive an invitation.

I've been in your shoes. We all need encouragement and wisdom for many challenges. No doubt about it, yours is tough. I know you can handle it from our short talk here. Be strong and of good courage, for the Lord can lift the brokenhearted.
Hope the reunion is positive and leads to a new beginning for all of you.
