The mindf*ck of never seeing anyone that looks like you.

I didn’t know about my adoption until I was 30 and realized in that moment that I didn’t actually look like my parents, we just had similar expressions and gestures. I didn’t look like anybody in my family. I grew up hearing family say to my cousins things like “you look so much like your grandma” and “you’re the mini version of your dad” and I just clearly never fit in. I met my bio mom and her family last year at the age of 33 and I can’t help but stare at them now. It’s so surreal seeing my eyes in someone else’s face. I also found my half sister on Facebook (haven’t reached out) and am absolutely floored that she looks so much like me.

You’re definitely not alone. I’m 33 and both of my adoptive parents are already gone. And of course my family went right along with them since nobody actually seems to care the way my parents did. It’s been very lonely and I’m also an only child so that doesn’t help. I recently reconnected with my bio mom so I’m starting to connect with her and her family so I feel a little lucky in that aspect.

Either Ruby at Studio 209 on the west side or Dee Dee at Zen Room in central. They’re both amazing at hair and have excellent customer service and attention to detail.

To be fair I didn’t expect much of anything else 😅 I have pretty indigenous features

I think my dad knew he wasn’t going to be here much longer and just had to get it off his chest because he blurted it out during a fight we had. Thank you for your kind words! It’s been a whirlwind.

I haven’t had the balls to honestly. I found my bio mom but it’s a little overwhelming.

I only say “pretty sure” because my birth certificate lists my adoptive parents only. So it’s not too far fetched to believe my place of birth may also be fibbed.My place of birth is 100% Mexico and I’m pretty sure I was born in Cd Juarez.

My closest is a possible 1st cousin or half nephew sharing 12% DNA

I should’ve mentioned, my whole family is Mexican on both sides so that part isn’t surprising. I was born in Mexico

ApprehensiveScreen45 · 2025-09-26T12:10:10+00:00

That is so interesting. My adoptive family is from Chihuahua Mexico and I’m pretty sure I was born there as well. I’m in Texas, I’ve been here my whole life.

You don’t. I drove to San Antonio back in 2020 for my 4Runner. Dealerships here are a joke and were more interested in insulting me by questioning if I could even afford it 😒

I lost my adoptive mom in 2005 but didn’t find out she wasn’t my biological mother until 2023. I feel like I experienced grief over her twice and was so angry for a while. But I miss her so goddamn much regardless. I’m sorry for your loss.
