I know that alot of people saw you should wait until your 18 to meet your birthparents but i met my birthmother her husband and my two borthers i never knew i had last night. I came home feeling like i was floating on a cloud. It was amazing. I never had a problem with being adopted but now that ive met my birthfamily i kind of feel like im more compelte. So good luck to everyone whos looking i wish you the best of luck

Can you share how old you are? You seem so strong and solid. Can you also share how your adoptive parents had a hand in you being the way you are as well as your journey to meeting your birthfamily?

good for you.. I meet my birthmother and 1/2 sisters next week. Was it awkward at all, how long had you been in contact with her? I'm glad your experience went well.

It was a little akward because she has two sons and an entirely different family now. but it was really waesome we all have so much in common. I actually hadnt been in any contact with her until that day her ex husabnd called me

I am currently 17 years old and a senior in high school. I am pretty solid about the whole adoption situation so it wasn't that bad i was just really nervous. My adoptive parents have done so much for me and raised me great and i actually wasnt even looking for my mother she found me

Wow, you are solid! I started the search for my birthmother, and when the social worker called to tell me she just got off the phone with her, I had to call her back because I couldn't stop crying. I'm so glad meeting everyone went well. I understand what you mean about going "full circle"...I understood more about myself after I saw the "gene pool" I came from.

Blessings,
Jan

thats nice that she found you--i was going to ask how you approached the issue with ur parents--but i guess you didn't have to--i just fear crushing my parents by wanting to contact my biological parents

    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...
