Hi all, I am new to this but i am 21 almost 22 years old and I was adopted at 2 days. My mom didnt really take care of herself and I have dealt with medical issues my entire life because of her mistakes. I feel like no matter who I talk to, people just dont understand what it feels like to be adopted. I cant take to my family about it because I am afraid that they may think I dont like that I am adopted. I am very lucky and fortunate I just dont know how my family would take it if I told them how I felt. How do people deal with the feeling of being un wanted?

hi i found out when i was 46yrs so a bit of a diferent situation but i do understand how you feel.
I was wondering who told you that your mum didnt take care of herself?What do you really know? and what was her life was really like? I am just asking this cause you may not really know all the circumstances around her life and why she did things. I think the only people who understand what it is like to be adopted is other adopted people and that is why I have found DS very helpful.There are many emotions that adoption brings up and confusion that people just dont understand. there is also a group called Adoptees Untited for adopted people. You know i didnt get the chance to talk to my adopted parents as they passed away before i found out but i would hope that you could go to yours and say how you feel.tell them you love them and you dont want them to feel that you do not want to be part of the family.Just that you have needs that have never been adressed becasue you have been scared of how they would feel.I am sure they love you enough to listen and would possibly be upset if they knew you were suffering on their account. this is my humble opinion all the best

my mom was 16 when she became pregnant, basically what happened was she got drunk, one night stand, 9 months later I was born.
Mouse, to answer your question I went through detox after I was born. I always had health problems and i asked my parents why was I always so sick. They explained it to me that she made mistakes and and wasnt careful during the pregnancy. I know that I dont know her life but in the adoption papers they gave my family about my biological parents, she stated that she didnt even know my fathers name...so that tells me she had problems but who am i to judge right? thanks =)
