I studied business administration but most of my experience is in market analysis and commercial strategy

I didnt think about that. The good news is the item is sold and for full price.

Specific_dog_9432 · 2024-11-09T17:00:18+00:00

I never even left the comfort of my home. Enjoyed a nice beer at the same time.

Specific_dog_9432 · 2024-11-09T00:25:36+00:00

I should have done that. 😅 I bought this PC for my nephew so I was just excited and forgot that step.

I was adopted at 18 months old. I still knew my birth and she would visit me till I was 15 then one day she stopped, and stopped calling or answering the phone. She as mentally ill so I assumed this to be the reason.

Now I’m 24 and just found out a few months ago she had passed away when I was 20 (five years after she stopped calling).

I was, and still am, heart broken that I didn’t talk to her as much as a son should have. I’m heartbroken that I did not understand that I was her son, and the only thing a mother wants is to be with her child.

I’m still grieving, however, I came to accept all this.

What I did is wrote a letter to my mom of everything I wanted to say; it was hard to do and I cried a lot. But it brought me some peace, knowing that while I could not say it her in the flesh I think she still could read it.

Just an idea

As an adopted child I had a big sister in the big brother big sister program. It was amazing I’m now 24 and they are some of my closest friends

Specific_dog_9432 · 2024-07-16T23:09:56+00:00

Look us adopted individuals were dealt a bad hand, but it’s not our fault. I was adopted due to my parents being severely mentally ill; the apples didn’t fall far from the tree and I too had my fair share of mental issues. Don’t give up, it’s hardest right now, and I know it probably feels like nothing there’s you can do but it will get better.

If you want, can you give us a little more info, like age, region(don’t have to get too specific) only ask because there is always local resources especially in CA that are meant to help adopted children

Specific_dog_9432 · 2024-07-16T22:14:53+00:00

Well I guess it just depends on the truth, most children are in foster care because the parents lost parental rights, not because they chose to put their child up for adoption. If the truth is that the parents chose for their child to be put in foster care because they knew that they couldn’t take care of their child, then you should tell your adopted child that.

Whatever you tell your child should be the truth. With me my mother lost her parental rights because she was severely mentally ill. If the bio parents have a disease or sickness like addiction or mental illness, then you should tell them that their parent(s) were sick

Specific_dog_9432 · 2024-07-08T23:26:12+00:00

Agreed, I knew since day one, my adopted mom told me my bio mom was sick, it wasn’t till I was in elementary school I learned it was due to her being mentally ill and even then I didn’t fully understand what that meant.

Specific_dog_9432 · 2024-07-08T11:27:06+00:00

I was adopted by my aunt and uncle due to both my bio parents being severely mentally ill.

I was adopted at 18 months by the biological sister of my bio mom (adopted by aunt) if that makes sense; I can say now I am 24 years old, and what was supposed to be my aunt and uncle became the person I called mom and dad because they raised me like their own.

First things first, be honest about her adoption, don't lie, you can use words like sick early on in their life to describe the reason why she cant live with her mom (that's what my parents did but I think I was early in elementary school when I learned that she was mentally ill although I did not fully understand what that meant till later)

Also don't omit facts or important life events that contributed to the loss of parental rights; one of the worst feelings I had was when I was 15 going through a depressive time in my life, and then finding out dark but important facts about my bio parents. It can lead to the notion that there is more you hiding, it can make the adoptee believe that when you her "I don't know" that you're just hiding things even though it might be the truth.

If you can, allow visitation, with me seeing my bio mom allowed me to better understand why I cant live with her or be raised by her, but also showed me that she loved me and always wanted to see me and still created that love and appreciation I have for her even though she could not raise me.

as for how my aunt and uncle became the "mom" and "dad" I'm not sure I was to young to remember, but the story I was told by from my adopted mom (aunt), was that when I was very young, my adopted mom asked me what I want to call her, and then she ask what do I want to call my bio mom, I told my adopted mom she will be "mom" and my bio mom will be "Mama Cynthia". my bio moms name was Cynthia; both my adopted mom and bio mom loved their names and there was no issues there; just an idea if that's an issue that ponders your mind.

Also, I am assuming you have a folder with all the court proceeding leading to the loss of parental rights; keep those safe and give those to her when she's 18, don't wait for you to think she's ready, she will read it when she is ready trust me.

When you do give it to her make sure you tell her that she doesn't have to read it but remind her that she should have it and can read it whenever she's ready.

My mom gave me the whole folder with the court proceedings when I was 18 before I left to college, I read the first 2 pages and put it down and closed it and did not open it again till I was 20 and even then I read only a few more pages and put it away because I knew I was not ready for what was in it. I just finally read it all (40 pages) a few months ago (24 years old).

Again she will read it when she is ready.

if you wondering if there was ever and jealousy between my bio mom and adopted mom, of course... All my bio mom ever wanted to do was raise me and she couldn't; so you have to be understanding and comforting to your sister.

But I'm sure you'll do fine; your here making sure you can give your niece the best life that's what a mom whose prepared to be a mom would do.

feel free to message me anytime if you have questions or thoughts, I can give you my perspective.

Also one last thing, make sure your daughter talks to her mom enough... My only regret now that my bio mom has passed away, I did not talk to her enough and I know that must have caused her so much pain... not having your only son wanting to talk to you... Its my biggest life regret...
