| Shirley | Posted: Jan 30, 2005 11:54:54 AM Michele Everyones different and if you feel the need to find your birthparents,then by all means do just that. Not all birthparents feel the same either. But me,for one, lives for the day my granddaughter finds us. You see her Daddy, my son is deceased and his dream was to find her. Good luck honey | ||
| richard | Posted: Jun 21, 2004 01:48:41 PM It is not important to all adopted children. My sister and I where both adopted from different families. She has always wanted to know and felt like she wasn't complete until she gathered that part of her history. i on the other hand have always felt complete and did not need to search. I am who I am and feel that the sum of my experiences define me as a person. What happened before I was born does not concern me. It is an individual answer for each person. | ||
| Christy | Posted: Jun 19, 2004 12:43:13 AM Can I ask why it is important to find birth parents? I am honestly just curious. I am considering adoption, but am very confused. I truly believe that the person who raised you are your parents. You are who you are because of them. Does 9 months with another woman really matter? I know adoptees who have no desire to find birth parents and others who have a strong desire. I also have heard adoptees call birth parents their real parents. | ||
| Michele | Posted: May 27, 2004 02:59:36 PM I know I'm not the only one wishing to figure out who their biological parents are. My brother, who was also adopted, found his birth mother at age 30 or so..I would like to find out who mine are - whether I meet them or not. I think this message and the subsequent results would be instrumental to perpective adpotive parents - to educate & prepare them for what may lie ahead. My mother, when my brother located his birth parents, found it difficult at first, but ultimately understood. | ||
