I AM A PREGNANT WOMAN WHO IS CONSIDERING ADOPTION. I AM WORRIED THAT THE CHILD THAT I GIVE UP WILL BE HURT THAT I GAVE HIM/HER UP AND NOT HIS/HER OLDER SIBLINGS. HAS ANYONE EVER FOUND OUT ABOUT THEIR BIRTH PARENTS? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH FINDING OUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS? PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I DONT WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER ABORTION, IT WAS SOOOOOO HARD, I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN. BUT I DONT FEEL THAT I COULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO THIS CHILD, WITHOUT DEPRIVING MY OTHERS. LINDA

I agree with the two posts above. I am also adopted and still thank God that my birthparents made the decision to put me up for adoption. My family (I don't think of them as my 'adopted' family - they are just my family) - has been wonderful and have given me tons of love, support and nurturing - the same as they gave to my 4 siblings. My husband and I are now looking to adopt, so we can provide the same love to another child.

I am adopted. I know that I had a better life being adopted and that my birth parents must have cared a great deal to look for a family ready for children and to offer me a good life. I wouldn't change a thing and am even considering adopting. I thank my birthparents for the life I have.

As an adopted child I feel blessed that I was adopted. All those extra people wanted me to have the best life that I could. Giving me up for adoption shows more love than keeping me would have. I'm so grateful that my birthparents made the choice of adoption. I love them very much.
