I was adopted at birth, and here is what I remember about my story I'm sure I have forgetten some of it but here is what I can recall.

My birth mother was 16 when she had me, my father was not around I think he ran shortly after he found out she was pregnante. At that time my Aunt was working as a social worker in the Kansas City, KS area, she was friends with my Birth grandmother untill she died. When my aunt found out about me through my Birth grandmother she knew just the right people to call. She told my mother and father (her brother and sister in law) who had been looking for a child to adopt about me. I don't know all the details but my folks paid all of the expenses so they could have me. They got the call late one night to get to KC fast, so they loaded up them selves and one of my mothers friends ( who by the way knew absoulty nothing about babies) and went to the hospitle. After I was born my birth mothers family was trying to convince her to keep me so they could collect more welfare. Luckly my Bmother came to her senses and allowed my parents to take me home.

I had a better than normal childhood, because my parents were abosultly ready for a child. I know my life would have been much different most likely in a negetive way if I hadent been adopted.

I found out I was adopted at a young age, I don't know what age. I do remember finding out when in school they wanted everyone to do a family history, I'm pretty sure thats when they told me.

I also have to say I have never wanted to meet or find my birth parents, it would have been easy for me to since my aunt knew the people but I wasent interested. My parents were my parents and thats all that mattered. I did want to know what country my ansestors came from, I'm desendant from germans and my parents are from french ansestors. That was all I really wanted to know, since I dont look french at all.

I just feel like saying adoption can be the best thing ever.

Thanks.
