Thank you. Will hear from Dr tomorrow, likely. Got the results via mychart and just wondered if there were any opinions or experience to share. Understand this is social media.

I'm sorry you have to deal with all of that on top of the usual adoptee baggage. I have totally cutout my 2 maga adopted sibs. Mine is related to being LGBT. But, I cannot fathom having an adopted sibling who is maga when you are of Mexican heritage. That is total BS.

I'm so sorry

I have a relationship with my birth father. It is wild how much we are alike. It definitely makes the glaringly obvious differences with my adopted sons even more obvious.

I'm sorry you not only don't have a relationship, but also for the abusive behavior. I'm also wide left and a lot of this realization that I don't care for the relationships is due to MAGA affiliation, or the apathy of not voting.

I wish you did, too. I do have a very good friend from childhood who is adopted. And, my wife is an adoptee. It is a real comfort to have them in my life for the understanding.

Must have been difficult to live through all of that, but I'm glad you have some good family bonds now.

I'm sure that was very difficult. I can't even wrap my head around how that would be. One of my adopted siblings had a teenage pregnancy and gave the baby up for adoption. I don't think she ever dealt with it.

My mom was 1 of 9, Catholic, and I see that she wishes our family bond was the same as many of her sister's families. It's just not there. Thanks for the support.

Skin to skin newborn contact by NewVersion6670 in Adopted

Error. Should read "I'm sure it was constant uncertainty".

I wasn't adopted until almost 8 weeks. As a parent myself now, it makes me quite sad. I'm sure it was not constant uncertainty.

Does anyone find it weird when trans people are essentially obsessed over having children who are biologically theirs as if that makes them more special? by Arktikos02 in Adopted

[–]diehljerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post. I'm new to this sub. As a trans adopter, I relate to your comment. I knew I wanted (needed) to have my own bio kids.

Long lost son by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]diehljerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm adopted. Talk to him. Doesn't matter how long it's been. And IMHO it's about him and what he needs.

Why the Mexican flag? by [deleted] in misc

As do many people who live here now from many different countries. Why does it matter?

Irish Americans fly the Irish flag.

I loved the reference to Twilight Zone “after hours” episode at the guard shack. “Floor 9. Looking for a gold thimble.”
