My mother had an affair and got pregnant when I was about three. They got divorced and my two brothers and I lived with our Mom. My Mom met a new man and told me she got rid of me and one of my brothers because that was the only way he would marry her. She gave my new sister up for adoption. My one brother stayed because we had different fathers ( maybe she had no relatives to send him to). I went to live with my grandparents for a few years.

My mom went on and had three more kids. I did not speak to her again until I was older and then it was only a couple tomes.

Now I live near the sister who was put up for adoption. I keep in touch with my brother. The one that stayed with Mom died during a time he moved to California to get to know me (it was an alcohal caused death), I also live near my Dad and keep in touch with one of the kids my mother had later.

I always felt like I had been abandoned. It has turned out ok in the end at least!
