I was adopted & found out when I was 16 yrs old. I still don't know of my biological parents. I am truly blessed to have been adopted by the most amazing parents, however in the bottom of my heart I would like to meet my biological family considering that I apparently come from a large family of 6 or 7 siblings!
yes.. curiosity is my middle name! I know curiosity killed the cat... but you have to live a little.
It would be scary.. the unknown... but maybe I'd meet some really cool people... and if they turned out bad.. not good for me.. I could always distance myself.
Maybe they want to know me too? Its a chance you have to take. If I don't like.. I can always walk away... been there done that and "Walk ON!" .. heee like the girl said. Sooo maybe research in private before you actually meet them.. they see you and then it may be harder to get away.. maybe they wouldn't let you go.. some crazy psycho/stalker thing.. so research first make sure they are mentally and socially stable I guess... no problems with the law.. 'cause you don't want to get messed up with that. And then pop into their life! Maybe I've been watching too many movies... LOL
birth parent and there for you parent... it would be interesting to know what they look like.. what they do.. how they are personality ways. AND the big the BIG reason why I think is health history.. like cancer diabetes, etc. One would want to know that.. it would be good to know.
I am adopted and was blessed by having the best parents. My birth Mother hired someone to find me 15 years ago, she ended up being only 50 miles away. I tried to have a relationship with her for 13 years, but as of right now we are not in touch ( my choice). There are so many issues with being adopted, and for a long time no one was allowed to talk about it. It is very confusing situation.
Doggy, I do not why it does not work to send mails to you, because I could get the one from you concerning the dogs. I have used a new adress from also, but it did not work as I can see.
If he is happy, good for him.
I hope I did not lose my possibility to write to mijn zoet meijse via e mail? If she reads it here, maybe, she knows that she did not get mails becuase of technical problems. I tried to write an wrote bit I do not know if it worked.
If you can answer don“t answer here, take our private contact. If I do not answer during some hours, than you can answer here and I know, that the server is the problem.
Growingup as the youngest mydad and sisters joked telling me I was adopted. My dad would say he found me in a basket floating in the river. When ever my sisters got mad at me they would tell me my mom wasn't really my mom and they weren't my sisters. And now my moms boyfriend jokes around saying my mom stole me from the mall bc my mom said when I was 2 she lost me at the mall and this couple brought me to the police working in the mall. I don't know why they kid around about me being adopted all the time but I think it's bc they were shocked I came out better looking lol.
I am adopted and found my birth mother almost 20 years ago. We have only met a couple of times as I am too worried about hurting my adoptive parents feelings. It's a difficult position as I lost my only sibling growing up, my brother over 10 years ago and I do have two half brothers I would like to get to know.

I was adopted at the age of 2 1/2 from Germany. Raised in a kinderdorf until I was sent to New York were I got parents and 3 brothers. At the age of 40 i finally decided to search...and located my birth mother and 8 brothers and sisters. I was number 4...my mother had relinquished myself and my 3 older siblings for various reasons. I was so glad that I went ahead and searched despite the fact that my parents did not want me to. My birth mother died less than 2 years after I met her. Communication was the biggest issue since I didn't speak German. But finally had the answers to questions that had plagued me most of my life.
