I am 32 years old and was put up for adoption when I was three days old. It was a private adoption through an attorney who was a friend of my family. My birthmothers doctor was actually of friend of my adoptives family too.

As early as I could remember my(adoptive) mother told me that I was adoptive. My family was great I always had finiancial support.

I have always wondered since I was young why?


At 28 I got pregnant had a horrible pregnancy due too (high blood pressure). I never knew my biological family history which made things hard.


The day I gave birth and look at my son I wanted to know who my birth mother was. This was the best day of my life!!(This was the worst day of her life!) How she went through this pain of giving away her 9.1 lb daughter just blows my mind!!


I regisitered through the State of New York to find out Non-Identiying information . I wanted to know my health history for me and for my son. After a year of waiting I received a letter from the state of New York. (I still know nothing of my health) But I do Know of the circumstances of my adoption my mother was in an extended relatiships with a (boy) They were contemplating marriage. The pregnancy ended the relationship.


I think about how painful that must have been and I hurt for her. I wish that I had the opportunity to say thank you for giving me life. I also wish I could make it better and she could see her grandson.

Thank you for listening

I too am adopted and was also three days old when I went to my new family.

It is interesting though. Once you have your own children it really makes you think. How difficult it must have been to give you away. I can't imagine, but I was also married and in a good place in my life. Like you, it was the best day of my life.

I could only imagine what our mothers faced. I can't thank her enough for making the unshelfish decision to give me to a family that could care for me. I have no doubt she loved me.......but she was smart enough to know it does take more than love.

I never could have imagined how hard it is to be a mother. I am happily married too and grateful to have the opportunities that I have had in my life.

I am also angry though and want my medical records!! As a mother if I was faced with the situation of putting my child up for adioption I would definetly release my medical recordsn and keep them updated. It is a responsibilty of birth parents.


Thanks for listening
