Adopted Children Only!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yellowfeverlime]

Tell your stories. I think they're interesting cause i am adopted too! :banana:

[shortysweetp]

i wouldnt actually say i was adopted but i didnt live with my biological mother and father for the majority of my childhood. I was raised between my granny and my aunt. I always knew who my mother and father were but i never really knew them. Now I dont speak to any of my biological family except my brother (and then its about once a month or so). My hubby's family has pretty much adopted me as their own. my father in law is always joking around and saying "can I adopt you? like give you my last name?" so I guess I can say that i am kinda.
I would like to adopt children when we are older and out of college and have been working for a while and my daughter is older. I would like to adopt older children because I know what its like to feel like you're not wanted and I want to give the feeling of love to someone.

I also want t adopt, becasue i want to pass on what my childhood was. Make there's better. I can rel;aste to them. I have never met my biological parents. My mother cheated on her husband, and so i am a (am i allowed to say this) "bastard"? My biological father skipped the country, so nobody knows who he is, and my mother died a month or 3 after i was born. Otherwise, i have a half-brother i have never met, adn it's really congfusing! I have a thick binder w/ 300 pages worth of information on my childhood. I was a VERY depressed kid.

Hi yellow, I think you should not be depressed. You should enjoy your life...
Life is a great experiment and I can understand it will be hard for you.....but control yourself and think about your present and future. If you are studying then think about your studies. :)
Studies will help you to lay a very good future.
I can also understand how hard it is not to have mom or dad around you.....but you can't lay your life like this so do enjoy your life.

Don't worry about me people. I just like to write. I don't act, i write the act.

Do you think Shakespeare rose from the dead to avenge someone. No, he just wrote it.

I bet it is very confusing! I can't imagine not knowing my own parents. I'm very sorry you, or anyone else! have to deal with this. I hope there are at least some people in your life you can trust and feel loved by?

I'm glad you write poetry, if at least it gives you some sort of way to vent your feelings and try to make sense of confusion.

[yellowfeverlime]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ME... FINALLY! Not even my psycho-iatrist figured that out. Yes, very confusing!

Well I don't think it's very healthy to pretend you're not confused or even angry about being adopted, you have every right to be.

But it is great that you have found something, poetry and writing, that takes the negative energy and turns it into something positive.

[yellowfeverlime]

Well, i am not angry. I think that i would have had a worse life. I am just angry about not being told the true story. I new that from when i was age 3. Are we allowed to say that word on this site???

wow yellow we have something in common my mother cheated on my father. well i say he is my father b/c i had his last name but noone really knows for sure which is why i didnt grow with my father around b/c he left my mother. It is very confusing to say the least. I have a half brother by my father (the one i know as my father, who has remarried and had more children that i have never met) and then a older brother by my mother and father. I have a step-family too from when my mother remarried. It was from the brief period that I actually lived with her. She cheated on him too and they got back together and he had a stroke and was left paralyzed. So my mother left him again. I would have to say that my stepfather is really the only father figure I have had until my father in law.
Did anyone watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition. They rebuilt a house for a couple that had adopted 4 kids and wanted to adopt more but their house was too small. I cried b/c I was soo happy they are people out there that are willing to adopt older children and give them a real "home".

That's what writing is for- Letting it all out and then saying something like- that was a relief... :D
I think that you adopting kids (in the future) would be good for both of you- and remember smile ;) JK.............

my once upon a time is rather wierd and sad but it has given me great insight to help other children, something i have done for years.
the man who raised me wanted to be with my mother a young jewish girl away at college. she had been date raped by a young jewish boy and thus i came to be. the man who raised me said he would take me and care for me until she went home and faced her wealthy parents yadayada.he was already married but whatever....they cheated on one another.
it allwent terribly wrong. with no legal documents whatever she in despair agreed, went home and did not come back until i was three. i remember the heavily raining night i heard the knock at the back door, a woman crying. i thought i would die and didn't understand why. the woman who raised me and later battered me for years said she wasn't giving the brat back. they both closed the door and then my mother went away. later i heard she married a wealthy man in the u.s. government and well...
i didn't discover my jewish roots until about grade three and i felt totally alone and displaced. once the woman who raised me died(suicide) the man threw me out saying if only i had not been born none of that would have happened. i was sixteen and had just graduated when i was out on my own in the world.
but i always sensed God's presence and care in my life and He is the only dad I have needed. so my once upon a time has brought me to a good place.my door is open to any child or teen with a broken heart needing to know they are loved. always.
