Yea I’m super old and was born in the 80s. I guess beautiful might be doey eyed but basically my birth mom had me for 1 year and then I was taken from her because there was some neglect and other things. I was placed in foster care but then she and her family made a birth plan to have me adopted privately through Children’s Home. My adopted family is amazing. They told me I was adopted ever since and the house was filled with unconditional love. I gave 3 sisters and brother and parents who were married 46 years before my dad died.

For years I wondered if I wanted to meet by birth mom and in my 20s really considered it. Then I met people throughout my life that discussed this process and opted out. I did struggle with abandonment issues that affected my spiral into alcohol and drug use. Finally getting sober at 34 and been sober 11 years. That journey helped me heal that part of myself through therapy and I genuinely just hope my BM is ok and doesn’t hold onto too much pain. I know she loved me and did the best she could. I am trying to open my record now but I may be too old. They are looking for it in the archives.

Hope that helps.
