That's totally screwed up, but it happens unfortunately. One of my wife's aunts said something that let let my wife's two cousins know that she didn't consider them real family members because they were adopted and it really hurt them. To say it pissed me and my wife off -- and surprised us -- is an understatement. Never thought of that aunt in the same way since.

I adopted one of my daughters. She says she is my wife and my favorite because she was hand picked.

Yeah it really shook me & made me realize how some of my adoptive family really felt about me. I know that my uncle probably didn't come to that decision on his own, actually I'm positive he didn't. But he was their scapegoat & karma took care of the rest. My dad took up for me though, I think he was more pissed about it than i was.
I remember telling my aunt that I never asked to be in their family. My parents picked me, not the other way around.
People can be so cruel & not even realize it.

Turns out dad is Borderline Personality Disorder
My bio mom has never been diagnosed as far as I am aware, but my sibling has this & looking at the symptoms, I'm almost positive that I do to. Genetics play a big part in it. It is absolute hell to deal with. I take lexapro & puff on the devils lettuce. The 2 together really help with the drastic mood swings.

My question is, a lot of those original records and such were in the basement of charity or universtiy hosptial and got flooded during Katrina.
Submit an inquiry with the state, you might be surprised.

Yes. Through Volunteers of American. All I really know about my birth parents is they were both 16 and from the Shreveport area.

Jsmoke222000, I appreciate you starting this thread. To all who posted, thank you for your stories. We’ve had a couple of talks with our son (6.5yrs old) about his adoption. I keep tabs on his bio mom/siblings from a distance on Facebook, my wife doesn’t know. Like one of the posters noted, eventually we will need to know medical history. I never saw it from that POV. I’ll cross that bridge when that time comes. Damn, this thread hit home in a good way.

Reading what others have shared has been pretty therapeutic.
I'm extremely fortunate that my adoptive mother has loved me unconditionally throughout this process. She has supported me through many struggles in my life & I'm very thankful that she is who raised me.

She’s not your adoptive mother. She’s your mother.

Margorie Taylor Greene says that adoptive parents are fake parents. Only biological parents are real parents. Only god can choose you can be a parent.

That bitch is stupid. Blood doesn't make you family, most certainly not in this case.
I'd just like to say kuddos to all the parents in this thread who stepped up & gave a child a chance by adopting them. You guys are awesome!

I would never disrespect the man who raised me to find the "sperm donor". No interest, whatsoever.

In my case, my dad left when I was 3. My mom was cool with it.

I hope you tell her this. Especially every year at Thanksgiving and/or Mother's Day.

I tell her every chance I get. She is a wonderful woman and the best mom I could have ever asked for.

Green is an idiot.
Hell, Jesus was adopted by Joseph.

My older brother is also adopted (we have no blood relation). He did have interest in finding his birth parents at one time. Being adopted used to bother him for some reason. He felt like he was unwanted. I myself do not understand that train of thought.
My mom was adopted and I asked her if she ever looked for her bio parents and she said no because she never felt like my grandparents weren’t her parents.

I’ve noticed something. She says one thing and people edit clips of her and say she said something different.
Since it looks like she’s next to Alex stein, they are talking about trannies. I didn’t hear adoptive parents are fake.
