wonderful adoptive parents
To Kate and Aussie, Im also in Australia and have the most wonderful adoptive parents. Its weird to even write adoptive parents to me they are just Mum and Dad whom I love with all my heart. I met my birthmother just last week and we got on really well and talked pretty much for 7 hours straight, it was lovely to meet her although it was a bit like talking to a stranger.
For 42 years I have never really thought too much about being adopted, probably because I had a normal happy childhood. This last week has reinforced to me who my real mother is and that is the woman who raised me, the one who wiped my dirty bottom, tenderly dabbed my grazed knees and cuddled me when i was down, she is the one who has been there for me my whole life and loved me unconditionally. Iam making room in my life for my birth family, there is a sister and brother too. I think its a positive in my life BUT they will never replace my parents, they will always be at the top of the pile! To the adoptive parents out there please dont listen to the negativity, most of us adoptees think our parents are wonderful. Noone can replace our adoptive parents in our hearts.
