Hello Everyone!

Sep 19, 2011 10:25

I just started this blog, and I wanted to see if there were people on here to relate and talk too. I dont normally put myself out like this, but I feel like this is a huge thing and I need help? Maybe just someone else from an outside view? Just someone to talk too that can understand what I am saying and feeling ( Read more... )

Wow thanks for responding. It sounds like a similar situation for me, my birth father wants to have nothing to do with me until he is on his death bed, and by that time I really think I could care less. Its been emotional for me and I dont know whether to cry, laugh, jump with joy. Im excited and scared about getting too close. I didn't get too much into it but my mom actually passed away last year so its kind of weird all of a sudden I was found and they are trying to get close. Luckily, I did find out about my siblings and that has been great. I just talked to my birth mother on the phone and set the ground rules and everything went fine for a 3 hour phone conversation, but she has called me every few hours because she just wants to hear my voice. That is starting to freak me out a bit, but I know she is just trying. Im starting to meet with her family little by little, just met her sister and brother in law, and next is her dad. Thank you again for writing me, glad to know that someone else has had a decent experience. Everyone I ( ... )

I was recently on the radio in Winnipeg discussing this issue and everyone who phoned in had good experiences with birth parents and siblings when they found them. I believe like all families, some will be good, some bad. As long as you are prepared for that and don't put unrealistic expectations on the people you will find, I believe just finding the missing connections and information has value whether or not you can forge a long term relationship with them. But then I have not been lucky enough to find anyone yet, so who knows.

So happy to hear that you treasure the relationship you now have with your birth mother despite the issues you had with your birth father.

So glad to find this thread. I am an adult adopted after birth as well.I don't think anyone who is not adopted can understand the missing pieces of your life's history that are missing. This is my story and I feel privilaged to share it here with other adopted adults ( ... )

I wish I could have been one of the missing parts...but nothing similar. I wish you all the luck in the world. I know the thinking on your birthday part...it always bothered me. I am still only 22 years old and its been a blessing they actually found me. Again, I wish you all the best and I hope that those missing pieces can click soon and make you feel complete as a person. I feel like a whole new person now that I have met my older brother that I knew about forever and yearned to know.
