What being adopted means to me.
May 25 '00
Hello! I was adopted at birth basically. I spent my first 2 months of life in the hospital and then went home with my adopted parents. Believe it or not, I believe I felt abandoned at the hospital. I really did not have any parents. I cannot speak for the children whom do not get adopted and how they feel their whole lives.
I am a lucky man to have any parents. My adopted parents ( whom will read this ) Hi mom! Tried their best, and are my parents. I was told from the begining I was adopted and always have been comfortable with it. I love my "adopted" Mom and Dad, although sometimes wonder if me being adopded gives them an "out" .. ( I don't know why he does that, he was adopted).
My adopted parents seem to be comfortable with the fact that I was adopted, like I said, I seem to know I was adopted from day one. They say anytime I want to look they will help me out. I have not asked them for help on this matter. And if I ever do I will ask them. I do not know If they are curious about who my bioligical parents are or not.
I have not tried to seek out my biological parents for a few reasons. I am scared they are dead, or people that I would absolutely hate. I sometimes take the attitude, that it is better not to know, than be dissapointed. One thing I do not know about it being actually blood related to someone, or at least I dont think so. I see brothers and sisters, and ask, is there some kind of connection between you two? Mostly they think I am nuts.. I dont know if I am missing that connection or not.
I wanted to write this because maybe there is a connection that adopted folks have that others dont. That is what makes me different. If you are adopted and have a problem with it. Think about the good things. There are people out there with the same experiance. I sure would not want to be anyone else, have you seen some of the parents out there? ( Tommy Morrison has kids)
I wonder on my birthday and holidays if my biological mother thinks of me at all. I am sometimes sad about that. I am told.. Of course she does! silly! I am happy that they decided to put me up for adoption, but also believe that I was to be put on this earth anyways. That time, or the next.
I cant give advice to other adopted people, whom are having a tough time dealing with it. What I can say, is it has made me the person I am today, A mixture of 2 wonderfull adopted parents, and some weird biological habits all mixed together, and I am lucky to have those differences. I have never been obsessed with finding any bioligical parents, if you are, than go for it. As of today I am 27 years old. Have a nice day. Hi mom!
