im adopted. im 34 years old and ive known since i was probably 8 years old. i met my birth mother several years ago and finally got to ask her all the unanswered questions thati had. it was nothing like the reunions they show on tv though. i never cried or anything. i thinki was more in shock i guess. she explained to me why and that actually gave me some peace. ive never been upset about it. i actually thank her for it. i dont know if i could ever do that, but i think it took alot of love and guts for her and i actually can say that im glad she did. you hear how kids try to blame their problems on the fact that they are adopted. i think they need to reallt sit back and consider what the alternative could have been. i was just wondering how many of you out there are adopted and whats your story.

I'm not adopted but I am almost aborted. My mom started taking peels when she is pregnant to me in 1-2 months I guess. She told me the story and she said she is not ready to be pregnant that time. After she gave birth to me, she told to herself that she will never be pregnant again. She did coz I'm the youngest.

I am not adopted, as far as I know. I was born with a deaf left ear, and so was my dad, so it must be genetic. So, my dad probably is my dad. I mean, who knows if my mom is really my mom, though, I wasn't there for the birth! It's better off that someone goes to a good home rather that be in a struggling home who can't take care of them, but a lot of kids go from foster home to foster home for years and never have a real family at all, you were very lucky!
