adopted

[E is not as sweet as u]

I am adopted.
It may seem weird to you all but to me it’s normal. I couldn’t imagine life not being this way. I live with this everyday, and it hasn’t bothered me for some time now… but just recently I have been thinking about it more and more. I get to the point where I get a headache from asking myself so many questions and knowing I won’t find the answers for three years, when I am 18.
My birth mother was 14 years old when she gave birth to me. I then stayed in a foster home for 3 months and then I came home to my parents. I know it may seem weird, but I often have flashbacks of my foster parents. I am in a white wooden crib, I have a red blanket, and I am dressed in navy blue. I see a lady with brown short hair and glasses wearing a red shirt and white pants. She has a really nice smile. There is a man, also with brown hair and glasses, wearing jeans and a maroon shirt. The lady picks me up and brings me into the living room.
That is all I remember.
I really wish I could know right now who my birth mother was. I have so many questions to ask her. I want to know if I have any brothers or sisters. I want to just see her, to look at her. I don’t even have to ask any questions, just one glance is all I want.
I don’t know if it is because I haven’t been getting along with my parents lately, but I have never been this interested in finding her before. I have tried many websites, but I have no luck. I could really use some help. If anyone has any good websites to go to or anything, please reply.

hi! im was also adopted as an infant and felt exactly the same as you. i have a wonderful family but as i got older i became more and more curious about my genetic heritage. my family will always be my family but i felt i had to know. my mother was 16 whe she gave me up and i had no other information to go on. well...guess what? after petitioning the courts to open my records i found my birthmother last march. i went to every adoption website i could find, joined registries and finally got in touch with the child welfare agency where i was adopted. the only real word of warning i have for you is to be careful cause you dont know what you may find. in my case it was fine but she had kept the adoption secret from everyone but her parents. to this day noone, not even her husband, knows i exist. anyway, that was a very long story short so please email me and we can talk. ill help you out the best i can. take care and best wishes.
a fellow adoptee,
