WHAT IF YOU WERE ADOPTED?? ( Archived) (8)

Then I suppose you really do not want to hear of my hopes to be adopted by some cute, young redhead with big and lots of money...

mostly just the family medical background, other than that I really don't want to know.
I was in foster care you many years but I said no when they wanted to adopt me.

My brother is adopted

My boss is adopted. She found her siblings, knows her medical history, her biological birth mother's history. Do not know about the father's history... if she has that.

She is close to most of the siblings or half siblings. She was fasinated to find out how some of them are so similar personality wise, and physically.

My aunt met her daughter (given up for adoption as a baby) and it just floored everyone how much alike they were. They at their hamburgers the same ... even how they preferred the pickles and relish etc. They definately looked a like. As if they were looking in a mirror. My aunt knew she could not take on a mother role for her daughter after they were reunited. It was a positive reunion. My aunt also was able to pass away at ease knowing her daughter was raised well and loved, and meeting her daughter that she never forgot was more than she could have asked for.

My mother looks after foster kids. They still come and visit with their adoptive parents. Some were old enough to know they were getting adopted. (5 yrs old and older). So far they are all happy. Kids know they had other parents. One knows and remembers snips and bits about his biological mother and siblings. He has great parents, and has come such a long way from the time I first met him.

I am not sure if that helps.

my mother was adopted, as for what you would want to know I would want to know about past medical issues in family. for example I have a heritary desiese that if not treated you get cancer and die by the time you are 30. diabites, mental illness, and heart conditons are also a big thing.

That old cuss is a redhead?????????????
