My story
Date Posted: 03-27-2006 at 11:39 AM
Well I am new to these boards and I guess I will start the journal with my story and from the there will add the things going on in my search process till I hope one day I can add updates from the reunion side of things.
So here it is.
This is everything I know about my adoption. From the start.
I guess let me start with my a mother. She and my father have 2 sons and then me. There is 7 years between me and my youngest brother. My mother got pregnant about 4 years before I was born and ended up having a miscarriage and having to have a hysterectomy. So for 3 years she prayed for a child. My great grandmother died about 10 months before I was born and when she was on her death bed she asked my mother if she wanted a little indian girl. My mother told her of course. And that was one of the last conversations my great grandmother had. (what strings she pulled when she got to heaven I do not know.. but i wonder)
So anyway my bmother moved to NW Oklahoma and goes in to see a dr. She tells him she thinks she is about 7 and a half months along but not sure she hasn't been to a dr. during her pregnancy. So they messure her and everything and she was just about right on her calculations. They scheduled a u/s for 3 weeks later. At this dr. appointment she told the dr.she wanted to plaec me up for adoption. Somewhere in this 3 weeks she went into labour. She had a nice calm labour. It didn't last too long. All she wanted to do was hold me for a few moments. The nurse said she felt like it was her way of making peace with me for what she planned to do.
I was born on a Sunday morning. After I was delivered the Dr. and his wife also his nurse came to church a little late but still came to church. He found my a father and talked to him. Later that afternoon the dr. and his wife and my mom and dad all sat down to talk. The dr. said this child is suppost to be yours. The mother wants to place her up for adoption and I know this child it to be yours.
That evening my mother when to the hopsital to gaze at this baby that was to be hers through the glass of the nursery window. When she heard the nurses talking about a mother who didn't want her child but wanted to hold it. My a mother when to the nurses and told them that she was adopting me and that they need to let her hold the baby to be sure of what she wants.
The next morning everything was on the move between the lawyer and judge to get everything done.
My a mother was out shopping. She says it is one thing to know you are having a baby for 9 months and prepare but something totally different to find out you are going to have a baby in a few days and have to prepare. She said she spent Monday and Tuesday shopping and painting the nursery and getting it ready for me. Come Wednesday afternoon they got to take me home. They got my brothers out of school and we spend the afternoon at home as a family. That evening I was taken to church. My a mom was the leader of the youth group at their church so I was passed around through all the teenage girls while mom taught her class.
The next few days passed like anyother when a new baby comes. Family and friends in and out non stop.
Come my 1 week check up my a parents and my b mother were in the waiting room together I just found out. But my a mom didn't know it till after the fact.
I have known I was adopted as long as I can remember.
My parents to me a bed time story about a little girl whos mommy loved her but couldn't take care of her so she gave her to parents that could. And slowly the little girl became me and the parents became them.
When I started asking questions I was told the information they had. My b mother was 22 years old. She had 3 children before me. She really didn't have a place to live and was staying with a sister. I have a full blood brother who is 11 months older then me and then 2 sisters about a year between each of us.
I have my birthmothers name at the time I was born age and some other information. And this is the beginning of my search. A search I started when I was 15 but now I am out to finish.
