Adoption Support Group

I have met my bparents and much of my extended bfamily. I am glad I did it though I am not that close to my bmum and bdad, though there is some care.bmum has severe depression and had ECT treatment etc.I am closer to my baunts.I would have always wondered about my bfamily otherwise.

Hi I'm an 40 year old adoptee and i found both my bparents when i was expecting my first child and met them when my daughter was 3 mos. old!! I started to search at 18 and i was 24 when i found them both as they got married 12 years after i was born!! They live far away from me but we talk on phone and it has been a great closure as i always wondered who i looked like and alot more!!Now i have 2 sets of parents one who was there for me since i was 6 weeks old as that is when i was adopted and they are truly the best and the other are there as friends cause they weren't there but i love both sets!! God bless you and i hope this helps!!

I found both my b-parents 2 years ago (they are not together) Although I don't regret doing it if I had known what the outcome was going to be I may have decided not to look. I searched because I longed for siblings and a larger extended family. What I found couldn't have been any more different, neither of my b-parents went on to have any more children and neither of them ever told their families about me. They both refuse to tell their relatives and my b-mother actually decided to cut all contact with me when I said I wanted to look for them. I am glad I found them so I got my questions answered but I can't help but feel rejected all over again

I have just recently found my birth family. my birthmother sent me a letter the very day i found them and that she knew i was looking. i am looking forward to meeting them. however i do know the risk of meeting them and getting hurt but right now the good out weights the bad. i have so many cousins and aunts and uncles and grandmother who has missed me for almost 19 years. if it doesn't work out meeting them then i tired and i can begin to move on. if oyu need any questions answered or just want to talk to someone about anything I'm here.
