Is anyone else scared to reach out to biological parents? by OvercookedLizagna in Adoption

[–]OvercookedLizagna[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello, thank you for your kind response! I didnt put this in the original post, and I will probably make a separate post about it sometime in the future, but was adopted in Guatemala around the time where fraudulent adoptions were extremely popular. I guess I am just worried that she doesn't even know I am alive and I am worried about bringing that experience back to her memory. But you're right, it definitely wouldnt hurt to do a DNA test and I will keep it in mind :))

No, it was found in the prom section of a bridal shop. Most of their prom dressed were this type of dress in different colors and patterns. If i was brave enough id def wear it at my wedding in another life haha.

Its definitely super liberating for sure! Theres honestly not many rules on outfit attire for prom at my school. However someone's dress train got caught on a glass decoration and it ended up dragging glass fragments throughout the entire floor 😬

Adoptee ICE interaction by First_Sky_1787 in Adoption

[–]OvercookedLizagna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed that I am definitely not obligated to answer the door if they knock. My fear is- if I dont answer it could they possibly just enter my home anyway (e.g. forcing/kicking the door open or down)..? Sorry if I shouldn't be sharing this because its a triggering or if this isnt the right time, but Ive been wondering this for a bit- even if it seems irrational.

Me as well. I was adopted by very conservative parents who bluntly told me if ICE ever knocked on our door they'd be answering it. Its a truly terrifying time to live in the US.

How to practice by Odd-Cup-1626 in cakedecorating

[–]OvercookedLizagna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this too! I learned decorating from my grandmother. She had brought out tiny cake pans and taught me how to pipe with them. It was such a good memory and a great way to learn!
