[luckymama]

Hi:wave:

I am adopted so is my brother i havent meet or contacted my birth parents neither has my brother but i am thinking about

[Pixie]

ohh cool there are a few of us, my grandfather adopted me. I asked because I was wondering how your birth family's took it when you made contact, mine were thrilled happy etc I found my birth father 3 years ago. my birth mother has always been in contact as my grandfather is her dad lol she was 16 when she had me.

But recently the wife of my birth father has been deleting my emails to him :( he told me yesterday...she must feel threatened which is silly I don't want anything but friendship.

Just to give you a look on the other side ..........my mum had a dd at 16 and had to adopt her out(back in those days was the done thing). My mum then met and married my dad and went on to have 4 more kids,she then sat down with us when i was 15 and told us that we had another sister(19 years ago now):eek: . Now you would not know the difference we are so much alike and i would not be without her now.

I know that feeling when I met my dad it was like we had been friends always tres weird..a sad but lovely story in the end for you!

[Mummy2my5]

It did turn out really good for us in the end and I am so greatful to have her in my life.:D

[proud_mama]

I get told by my DH that my life is one big soap opera! lol

All my life i was in and out of foster homes because my mother couldn't make up her mind, until when i was 10 i was finaly adopted:D and loved her to bits..i miss her because i was in her care for 5 years and then she died of cancer:crying:

but yes i do know my biological (sp?) family. i only met my father when i was 15 and he lived right across the road from me:eek: :p

I'm not adopted myself, but I have a bro who was adopted out.
My husband was adopted by his uncle.

I have a half sister out there somewhere that my mum gave up for adoption when she was 17. Mum is trying to find her now.:fingerscrossed:

I know I would love to meet her:)

[Pixie]

ohh how exciting that's great I hope your mum and you find her and it all works out!

[AppleBlossym]

I really hope so too...but mum has been looking for about a year and found no trace of her:no:

[Hokey Pokey]

I'm not really. My real Dad left Mum when she was preg with me. Mum met another man when I was 5 and they got married and he took over as my father :)

Olivia will be adopted once we are married, as she is not Justins bio....

I have a brother a year older than he who was taken off my Mum at birth, back then that is what they did :crying:

Hey,

I am adopted from Brazil when i was 7years old, my adoptive parents first heard of me wehen i was 3weeks old and came over to adopt me they borugh tme back to england and i spent 3months with them before they got told they could not adopt me due to the courts in brazil and england did not agree. I was sent back to Brazil and stayed in the worst orphanage ever which cloed down a year later when i was 8 due to my adoptive parents taking them to court for abuse.
Anyway i lived in the orphanage for 7years of my life and hated it it was the worst time of my life. When i was abou tot turn 7 i was fostered by some family friends of my adoptive family from brazil and lived with them for half a year. I then came to england have stayed here ever since. I now have my own baby who is perfect she wa sborn on 28th of june 2006 and is called isabella after having my own child it has changed me views on my adoption alot and i have had to face alot of emotions i didn't know i would have over my adoption.

I went to look for my mum not so long ago as my adoptive mum was diagnose with cancr and we had numbered days so on behalf of her she wanted me to feel complete so i find out i was either a rape child of through prostitution so i have decided to leave it behind. My adoptive mum died this year in june but i have had the best upbring since i came to england and lov eit here nothing will ever change that.

My DH and his brother are both adopted. My BIL received a letter from his birth mother on his 18th birthday (which was written when he was born and kept unopened by my MIL for 18yrs and went with them when they moved from SA to Vanuatu, back to SA and Qld). Soon after his 18th b'day they met in SA, she is married with three other children and they are all great friends and see each other a couple of times per year, quite a happy outcome.
My DH on the other hand, has had no interest in contacting/finding his birth parents, although I must say I am curious.....especially now we have DD.
My DH has had a wonderful upbringing in a loving family, so he says he isn't interested in finding them.

Bella'smummy what and amazing story thank you for sharing, I am from England myself but live in Australia now. Congratulations on your daughter and sorry to hear about your mothers passing :(

Zenifa I had no interest in knowing about my birth parents until I was really at a stage in my life where things were changing. It may happen for your DH it may not. But I understand why he has no interest I didn't for a long time 20 odd years!

[Mischief]

I'm not adopted officially....my birth mother wouldnt sign the papers....I'm not even fostered....I was raised by my grandparents who spent most of my life trying to adopt me without success. :( My birth mother is a selfish cow, who only thinks of herself....(i have 5 other brothers and sisters that I know about, I only know one of them, and the rest she has *given* away). :banghead:

Father unknown...she would never tell who he was, but I belive that he was married. :(

What really made me mad was a couple of years ago her asking my auntie (her sister) if she was a grandmother yet....she will NEVER be a grandmother to my child, my MUM is!

I am curious, more so than DH, but its never been a big issue for him (or me). I guess if he could see a picture and find out more about them, he may be interested, he just doesn't want contact or to meet them. Now that we had DD, his ownly known blood relative, he often wonders what she will inherit from his side, that he doesn't know about. Who knows, his thoughts and feelings may change in the future, but we just enjoy our family now as it is.

Big threat when you have had someone to youself and been a family for over 20 years and then another child turns up, I understand her reasons but it's all been sorted out now :D
