My daughter tried to post her feelings and thoughts about her sister that was adopted. apparently her opinion is not welcome here. She is denied privelages to post here. She signed up. She has a valid account. She is not allowed to express her feelings here. And to think I was about to try to convince my daughter that was adopted to post here. Hah!!!! Like she would have needed the rejection. Selective input is not theraputic or helpful to anyone. Why don't you let birth siblings post? I don't understand. Nothing but locked forums?

Did she log in? You cannot post unless you are logged in.

trguitar,

Did she actually post and just not get any responses yet? If so, let me know the name of the thread and in what board, and I'll go take a look and respond...

If she was completely unable to post, then she either was not logged in, or it was a fluke/problem with the forum.

Birthfamily members (of any relation) are absolutly welcome to post here (or anywhere else) on the forum.

You indicated that all the forums were locked...there are no locked forums on this site...would you mind sending me the URL of the forum in question?

[SchmennaLeigh]

Locked forums? Are your security settings too high on your browser or possibly you're not logged in?

Brandy is a mod. She can give you a hand.

Tell her to try again...This site will be a great place for her to post her feelings. They wouldn't deny her to post here. I have been a member for a long time.. Just get a hold of Brandy and she will help..

Thanks everyone ...... yeah, she was logged in. I tried her password and everything. Maybe I'll have her try registering again under a different handle or something. I was just very frustrated. She was home from college for a few days and she said, Daddy, I tried to post on that adoption forum but I can't. We got on here together and it didn't work and I became frustrated. Iappoligise for the outburst. We had just finished chatting online with my bdaughter and she wanted to come on here and tell everyone how wonderful her sister is.

[SchmennaLeigh]

TR,

We've all had an outburst from time to time. Myself included. I hope your daughter has better luck getting in here.

I also have 4 boys and my name is Jen, thought that was neat. I have a ?, my husband had a daughter with another girl before we got together. We have been together 18yrs, his daughter was adopted out when she was born and started contact last yr. The problem I am having is that she does not seem to want any contact with me or our 4 boys, just my husband. The boys did not know until last christmas and the older ones 14,12 have a problem because their dad has never been around much..he works all the time, and then this girl comes in and she is a huge big deal, and thats all he can talk about ...and they feel shoved out even more, and then with her not wanting much about them or me, this is so much harder than I ever expected...He even canceled a weekend race for her and out of 17 yrs has never canceled anything for us as a family. I did know about her 18yrs ago, but life happened in between and if my husband and I had had a better relationship and with the boys also, maybe it would not have been so hard...I do not know really were to go from here, I have tried to show interest in her and talk...but to be honest all she is interested in is both of her birthparents, and she even has bad mouthed her adopted parents. I have gotten 2 different stories from her the ones in the letters to the ones she has said. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!! Feel free to email me jennbart@aol.com

I am a "birth sister". I have been able to post but there are somethings on this site that I'm not able to do for some reason and I am signed in.
I joined this site because my Mom thought it would be good for me since she joined to get support. I've had a hard time finding advice for the siblings. I wish there was more help out there. I searched for my sister for six years. When I found her everything seemed to be going pretty good. Then she does a 360 and shuts the door with my Mom then reopens the door. Then cuts everyone off.
I don't like feeling rejected either.

Glad it worked out! All of us have had an outburst of some kind on here (some of us much more than once...myself included). Glad we can now be here to listen!

I am a birth mom and have a 6 year old son. He has a birth brother who is 4. My son is having huge issues with the fact that his birth brother does not live with him. Any advice?
