| My Life.... |
I was adopted shortly after birth and had the most wonderful up-bringing. I was told from a very young age that I was adopted-as were my three other siblings. My parents had adopted 4 children in total.Sadly, my adopted dad passed away when I was just 15mnths old.In When I turned 18 I was shown my adoption papers with very little info regarding my biological mother on it as it was a closed adoption.However,I was brought up Catholic and when I was confirmed my cofirmation name that was given to me was my original birth name.This my mom did for all of us-she kept something of our beginninings. In 1989 I decided to trace my biological mother and even with the little info I had it only took me TWO days!!! I spoke to "M" on the phone and met her a week later.It was an emotional meeting but I made her promise from the beginning not to apologise for what had happened as I understood fully.

| The Hardest Decision |
I had my first child at the age of seventeen and made the great choice of keeping her. I am now twenty eight and still with the father of my child, we have had two more beautiful children, a daughter and another son. At the end of 2003 I discovered I was pregnant again. Totally unplanned, my little boy was only seven months old and my partner had been in a car accident and broken his back. I had to make a tough choice.

I saw my baby only twice before I was discharged from hospital. I signed the papers for his adoption in Durban six weeks later - and not a day goes by without wondering.....................

| 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.
