Okay let me just first say that right now Iam feeling very agitated, I am starting to go through the emotions already and I havent even found anything out. I am very angry with my birth mother, who did not want me and who I felt was only thinking of herself and not me too. Who knows if she even thought once about me in the 26 years since she gave me up, and yet I am looking for this person whom I dont even know. For some reason though I feel a connection and an urge to look. May not come up with anything but then again who knows. I know that she was young and may have been raped and I totally understand that she may have not known whatelse to do, but I still feel like she should have left me with something. Is this being selfish, probably. At this very moment I couldnt care less. If I find her she has a lot of questions to answer, I am sure by then I will be in my right mind. Maybe.

I really wish it was not so hard to search for info on my birhtparents. I feel very robbed of my right to know. I mean it is my life after all that they are messing with. The state should allow adopted children to view the files if they please. less confusions on our part. I think even if the birth parents dont want to see us, they should at least give us some type of medical info, whether or not we have siblings, what about the rest of the family, would they like to get to know me? I hate this its so stupid. A word of advice to adoptive parents find out what you can about the birth parents, be open to the fact that the child may want to search later and be supportive.

its been awhile

its been some time since I last wrote, I still dont have much to go on, I did find a last name, and I did find out that my adoption was through an agency, so I had to send them my consent for contact form and my request for non-id-info. So now I play the waiting game. I still need to tell my aparents, but I think I am going to wait till I hear back from the adoption agency. I dont want to stir up the waters yet. especially if theres nothing worth stirring up. well thats all for now.

still nothing

I called the agency today, that was supposed to handle my adoption, and wanted to check on the status of my consent for contact form and background info, but nobody seems to know what I am talking about. Its all really confusing and frustrating. I hope I can get on the right track somewhere. Pray for me.

A small break

Well on friday nov 4th I recieved a letter written by my mother, probably before or after she had me, I recieved the letter from a social worker who was helping me with my consent for contact and my non-id info. The letter was sad, but it also made me happy. Happy to know that she did some day want to meet me, she even left a picture. But unfortunatley, I could not see the picture and they blocked out my mothers name because, she never signed a consent for contact. It just baffles me. why would she even bother to leave the letter, sign it and leave a picture, if she didnt want to be found one day. The only explanation I could think of, is that she was never told to she had to sign a consent for contact. I cant believe how close i was, so very close and now, I am once again stuck in a rut. Well I will continue to search. I have a last name and I am doing my best with what i have. I finally told my parents that i was searching. They told me good luck. Well Lord knows I need it.

Tasha - You sound like the pregnancy and the demands of family from all sides is getting to you. Make time for yourself but how about getting a stack of blank cards and sending them out to all those who you consider important to you, telling them you are feeling tired but are thankful to have them in your life. It will make you feel good and will rally those around you who can lend a hand, or an ear, or an afternoon's babysitting. 2 under two is no mean feat. You deserve sainthood status. Ann

I'm so happy for you! My daughter and I found each other a few years ago ..online. She has since come to visit me and we stay in contact by email or phone. I was lucky enough to meet her adoptive parents. Although , unfortunately we do not keep in contact. I understand that they want to keep their lives and privacy. I am hopeful in the future that my daughter and my family can spend more time together and make our own memories. Good luck in all you do and Congratulations!
