I was born january 16,1973.In a hospital in plymouth indiana.Two years later a brother or sister was born.I never met or new them.I was put up for adoption at the age of 2 through child welfare services and so was he/her.I am 35 now all my life i have felt like something is missing.Who am I?Why wasnt i loved by my real mom.My adopted parents were from a strict religious background.So im guessing you can guess child hood wasnt fun.I felt loved until they had there own children.I always after that felt treated differerent my brothers and sis were not punished in the same manner i was.I was told i was adopted at the age of 11 too young in my opinion.I struggled with identity and purpose ever since.I have never felt like i could stay in one place.I always feel like i have to move and search for something.I have felt a passion for the past.Out of that i became a veteran,a patriot,and who iam today.I have become bitter towards parents who dont take care of there kids.Alot of baggage i believe comes with lack of identity.I have been divorced twice and hard to keep a relationship because i guess i think there just going to go away anyways..To this day i really dont care about finding my parents anymore but i would like to find my siblings just to meet them and see how they turned out.I hope some people can identify with this.......If you can please share how you helped yourself.Cause i dunno where to go from here..............

I totally understand where you are coming from. I was given up for adoption in April of 1968. Mom was 33 years old when she gave me up the thing that bothers me is that she had three girls at the time of my birth, 16, 14 and 12. In my head I am always searching why did she keep them and give me up. I was able to meet her in March of 2007 and my sisters and ask them why? I never really got the answer that I wanted. She thought I was better off with other parents because if she kept me her husband would take her three girls away. Believe me I am angry, mad and very sad at times like I was given away from a lady that carried me for nine months. How could she do that!!! I take one day at a time, the feelings do not go away, you just have to learn how to live with them and just know you are not alone. Put your energy into trying to find your siblings, there is a lot of people on this site that can help. They are your search angels. Good Luck

I don't have a lot to offer other than my biomom is from Plymouth, In. They have a good historical society and a helpful library there if you ever had to try to do any research.

I'm so sorry for how you are feeling. I, myself have been there also, not knowing who you are & feeling alone, always wondering, wondering..... The thing is, it never completely goes away! I was adopted @ the age of 7 weeks & now am 56 yrs. old & still haven't found anyone!!!!! Hopefully you will be more successful!!!!

Hi,

Sorry you feel down about being adopted. Do you have your birth certificate? I am a reunited mother with my daughter, and we both feel alot better meeting each other, clear things up and get to know one another..
I am also looking for a girl who was adopted around your bdate.. Jan. 16/73! You wouldn't have brown eyes, blondish/brown hair, a mole under your right eye would you?
Hugs, Nancy

Thats kinda funny.I am a guy but i do have all those features except I had a mole removed when i was a child.I have a birthcertificate but it has my adopted name on it.Thanks for your words of encouragement.Hope you find her.

Thanks for writing! I find the coincidences amazing! Don't mind me asking, where was the mole you had removed?

Best!! Nancy

I'm sorry you're struggling. Have you registered with the state registry in Indiana and attempted to get your non-identifying information?

Just curious...

I was told i was adopted at the age of 11 too young in my opinion.

Are you saying that you feel like age 11 is too young for a parent to tell their child that they are adopted? If that's the case, I just find that so interesting, because my experience with adoptees who were not told that they were adopted until they were in their teens or OLDER is that they harbor a lot of resentment towards their parents for not telling them the truth. I have known that I was adopted for as long as I can remember.

I was told when I was 6 yrs old & my mother retold the story about them picking me up @ 7 wks & how my brothers went to court & had to tell the judge how much they wanted me... & it goes on, but it helped me believe that I was really loved! It's amazing tho, how the teen yrs scambles all that, but I still never really wanted to search until I was in my 30's. So, I guess what I'm saying that it's never too early.
