I know this may sound trivial but it has taken me 32 years to make a decision. I wrote a letter. Put a stamp on it. But I can't put it in the mail. I think I want to find my birth mother. I'm finally ready. I really need to talk this over and think it over but I don't want to waste any more time. Is there anyone else that is adopted that has found a parent? Can you help me? Please.

Hang on. Maybe someone will come along. I had two friends who found their birth mothers. One worked out okay. The other found out her mother was a bag lady, and that distressed her.

I have a half brother that found his mother (my mother) after 30 years. She had denied him at birth and she did it again when he found us. He thought he had missed out on this "wonderful" life, as the people that adopted him were apparently alcoholics. Little did he know what a really terrible mother he was born from. I sincerely hope things turn out better for you!

The parents I have and the family I call mine are great. I associate my heritage with them among everything else. It's not that I'm looking for anything better, just the only blood I know is my son. And he is the most precious thing in the world to me. I was given every opportunity growing up to be that so called normal kid. But I wasnt. I was extraordinary and up until I found out I was bipolar I didn't know why. I have a good friend from school, I grew up with her all the way from preschool through high school she was adopted too, as far as I know she never showed interest in finding her birth mother. I think the hardest part for me is putting the letter in the mailbox.
