I have a great adopted life. I was adopted at the age of 6. My brother and I love our apairents. We always knew we were adopted and we did not mind at all. Our life before adoption was awfull. I am now 25yrs old and my brother is 27. We would not change anything from our adopted life.
Our birth mother and our birth sister found us about a mo. ago. I always wondered what it would be like to here from them. I always wanted to find our older sister and it has been great to get to know her over the phone. I am sure we will realy get to know eachother and hope to have a good relationship with her. She is 30yrs old now and lives in Alaska. I am in Texas. She has 3 kids that have been taken away from her and I am looking to try to adopt them to keep them together.
I dont think getting to know our bmom will be as easy. My brother remembers alot more than I do. I am glad I cant remember. My brother goes through hell with his memories of before we were adopted. Talking to our bmother on the phone I can tell she is still a drunk if not still on drugs. I was very disapointed and had always hoped she had straightened her life up after we had been taken away. Now I know she will never change it hurts. Maybe if she had tried to better her life I would be able to feel more for her, but as it is it seems we ment very little to her. She tells us how much she loved us and missed us and is still angry that we were taken away from her.But she had over 8yrs to get her life straight before we were gone from her forever. My brother was 8 when he was adopted. He is 2yrs older than me.
I thank god more now since we have talked to her that we have such a good family.We both probably would be dead if things had not happened the way they did. Our apairents are the best things in our lives. I know we were not easy kids to raise when they got us, because of all we had been though, but they gave us more love than anyone had ever gave us. I just hope I can do the same for my 2 boys ages 3yrs and 1yr. And if I get my sisters 3 kids I want to try to give them the chance of staying together, as they are in seperate foster homes right now. They are older children, and I know that will probably make it harder, but I know my mom will be just a phone call away if I need her advise. I am talking about my amom by the way.....lol
Sorry so long.
