A lot of family nowadays has an adopted son or daughter. They adopt for a lot of reasons. Some because they believe that if the couple are married for a long time and no still no children, if they adopt a child, they'll be blessed with their own someday. Some because they love kids and wanted to help those kids who are in need. Some also because they believe that this adopted kids will be the ones who will run their company someday. Some because they're being force to adopt. Whatever reasons they may have still the fact remains that they adopt. Whether its for good or bad. If you are in the shoe of this adopted children, what will you do if you suddenly know it? Will you be mad at your foster parents or will you thank them for giving you the life you have right now? If you have something in your mind, try to share it here.. Each opinion is highly respected. Thank you..

I am an adopted child. When I was just 5 yrs old, I was adopted by my biological aunt who can't bear a child . I was not the only one adopted. My biological cousin who was 13 then was also adopted. For a 5 yr old, I just can't understand why I can't live with my real parents. I always remember the day when they took me away. For the whole duration of the trip, I didn't stop crying. My real parents have 3 other boys after me, I am the eldest and the only girl. I still live with them during school break and on holidays. But I sometimes feel, that my real parents regret what they did. I just know. They have me adopted to have a better life because my adoptive parents are well-off. What is difficult for me as an adopted child is even though my heart wants to be with my real parents, I just couldn't leave my adoptive parents. Whatever I do, I need to consider the feelings of my adoptive parents first. Basically it's like dividing myself between two families. When in school, I don't talk about my situation because I feel that I'm just a normal kid. It's just that I happen to have 2 sets of parents. Well it is not the same with my adoptive sister. She was in her teens when she was adopted, so her loyalty was with her real parents. She never recognized our adoptive mother as her mom. She was just after the inheritance (which is not too much). She hadn't talk to us in years. My adoptive dad passed away when I was just 12yo & my mom is currently living with her sister. I have my own family now. So if I have time, I call or visit her. I'm still thankful to them because I wouldn't be where I am right now if not for them.

Hello sweet_pea... I guess your adoptive parents are proud of you.. You know why? Its because you never blame them for what they did and you did you best to show both of them that you love and care for them.. How I wish adopted children will be like you, never blame your real parents for what they did, never give a hurt ache to the family who adopted you. Good lack and God Bless!!!

If i were in the shoe of this adopted children, I wouldn't be mad to my foster parents. They might just have done it for a valid reason. They might have thought that they couldn't such things that i might need.
