oh wow.
Hey everybody. My name is Lauren. I"m 19 and adopted. Being adopted has always been hard for me. Mostly because I have no one to relate to. I hope I can find support and friendship here.
Thanks, Lauren

hi lauren!
i have to say i completely understand what you mean when you say adoption has been hard for you. I think most ppl on here can say the same.every degree of "hard on me" is different of course, and some can deal with it better than others, i guess its your situation and views, that define it. I would have to say that adoption almost desrtoyed my life. the wrong paths in life. Not ever dealing with my pain fears and whatnot, had built up and i was in the worst state. Having a child myself forced me into "dealing " and finding myself along with my Bsis! I really wish you the best, and glad to see you are on here and seeking advice and trying to talk about things. At your age i was in a complete drunken state at all times, sleeping under bridges and shooting drugs, not caring what happened to me. You dont EVER want to be there. Good job and please pm me or anything whenever you want to talk. I can even give you my email. Ciao!

Hi Lauren. Just thought I might give you some support. I am a 41 yr old female adoptee myself. I have always had a hard time relating. I was raised by 2 wonderful and supportive adoptive parents who couldn't have children of their own. Wow what a huge sacrifice and choice they made when they chose to adopt 3 children. None of us are birth siblings. I think I had the hardest time relating because I looked like noone aroung me. I was blonde with hazel eyes, and my siblings were dark headed with dark eyes. Everyone, all my life who didn't know I was adopted would always say I looked my dad. He was the closest match out of all my family. Needless to say I gravitated to him like glue and grew up being "daddys little girl". I started my search for my birthmother when I became of age. We still have had no reunion, but some (very little) contact. I know I have 2 birth sisters. How exciting at the thought of finally meeting someone who I look like. The excitement came to a bitter end when once again I was rejected by my bmother. I have sat on that for about 8 years now and I have finally succomed to once again opening up the folder to start another chapter, and another possible rejection. Just always have faith Lauren. That will keep you going when things get tough, and Hope and dream alot along the way. Don't get lost!
Have a wonderful day and smile for YOU! Laura Last edited by Laura06 : 04-09-2006 at 01:13 PM.
