Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Whether you are looking to adopt, putting your child up for adoption, parenting an adopted child, or just thinking about it, this is the place to discuss.

I just wanted to share my story with someone. I have spent a few years looking on and off for my birth mother. By a stroke of luck someone saw my details online, did some research for me and gave me her address. I wrote to her, putting my email address on the letter and shortly afterwards I received an email from her. That was a week ago. I could never have anticipated what sort of reaction I would get but it has been amazing. I am so glad I found her, when we write it feels like we have known each other all our lives and are very much alike. I haven't yet told my adoptive family, I am just enjoying this special time but I have been feeling guilty as I really want to have some sort of relationship with my birth mother and this is what she wants too. I was the only child she ever had so it makes the situation even more uique. We email on a daily basis and have exchanged photos etc and she is thrilled to learn she has grand-children. I keep wondering if it is wrong to want her to be involved in my life but I am so thrilled that I have found her it seems the right thing to do. I now know how lucky I am, many people don't get this response from their birth parents and I feel truly blessed that I did. Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Cherish the time you are able to spend with her. Let your adoptive parents also know how much they mean to you. Both parents can share your heart and love.
I'm so very happy for you!!!!!
