But I really don't enjoy reading the other posts as much I used to. Especially when everyone is talking about how great their reunions with their birthmothers and/or birthfathers are going. Even the ones that have the information, but they don't know if they want to contact or not. I just want to scream... "ARE YOU CRAZY? You better do it while you can, if you wait, you may find out it's too late like I did!"
It's almost like, as an adoptee, I never really fit-in, then I came on the forums during my search and finally fit-in somewhere, ultimately feeling apart again after finding out my birthmother has died. Does that make sense?? I guess I'm rambling now. Sorry, I suppose I just needed to vent a little.
Thanks
