So, this is kind of a long story, so thank you in advance for reading if you do...I was adopted at the age of 12 and lost my entire family. I was abandoned at the age of 8 and lived with other family until I was put into foster care at 11. My first placement adopted me at 12. My adoptive dad passed away when I was 14. I was devastated.

So, in a nutshell, I was adopted when I was 12... My bio mom abandoned me and 2 of my siblings with her husband who was a sex offender/alcoholic/drug addict.

(if you want the whole story, it's on my blog @reshapingthemold.com)Where some girls are overly promiscuous after sexual abuse, I have always been very conservative. I don't necessarily "like" sex... I grew up viewing it as "sex is for procreation, not...
