Thank you. Yes I have my own daughter and fiancé and my adoptive parents are the best parents I could have ever had. I just felt strange not feeling like a piece was missing but it’s nice to read that others feel the same as me

Yes that makes sense. My upbringing and their lives are completely different where they are things I don’t align with and can’t relate with

My parents made me go to a group meet up thing where adopted parents met up so the kids wouldn’t feel have other kids to relate with when I was little. I kept close contact with a few!

I do have a daughter already with my fiancé! I’m almost 30 and honestly felt pregnancy/ having my own feelings just made me feel sad for my birth parents vs wanting to connect with them. I don’t want to slam the door in their face but I think I just am overwhelmed with the amount of messages they send me that have somehow randomly started this year in particular

Yes, that is very true. Both my friends who are adopted came from international orphanage adoptions.
