 | Adopted and looking to adopt |
I was adopted at the age of 12 days old. My parents already had a son of their own. I don't really remember exactly when my parents told me I was adopted but somehow I always new. My friends never believed me when I told them I was adopted. Not sure if people think we adoptees must have green horns or something..... I was never phased by my adoption, I can thank my parents for this as they always treated me as their own child and never any different from my brother. We as a family had a very open approach to my adoption and my parents always assured me that if ever I wanted to find my biological parents, they would support me all the way. Their unconditional love through all the years has made me what I am today.
When I was 18 I decided it was time to find out more about my biological parents. Luckily my birthmother(BF) kept my adoption records up to date so when I made contact with the agency, the process of finding her was very quick. We both went through one or two sessions of councilling before meeting. I think this is very important as one is never fully prepared for this emotional roller coaster.
A few years later I met my biological father . I now have a wonderful relationship with both my birthparents. They both have their own respective families and children.
Our relationship is almost like a friend of the family. I have my own family and they theirs, I would never intrude and never expect anything more from them than the friendship and acknowledgement they have shown me.
My husband and I are now in the situation where we want to adopt a baby after many years of unsuccesful fertiltiy treatments. We would love to share our lives with another child and give him/her our unconditional love that my parents gave to me. I thank all those mothers that do give up their babies for adoption, that is the most amazing gift you can ever give to anyone. My heart breaks when I hear of so many young girls having abortions these days.
I only wish that they would consider adoption instead.
