Family is so important. I was adopted. I’m lucky to have the relationship I do with my birth family. Unfortunately because of my longtime wanting to find my birth mum my relationship with my adopted family suffered. I think it was a long time coming. Growing up with my adopted family was hard. I never hid how I wanted my birth mum. Honestly I feel that was what kind of made my adopted parents hate me. Personally I don’t see why I can’t celebrate both sides of me. By doing my family research - both adopted and biological- I’m paying homage to both sides. Both sides make up who I am today. Ignoring one side of me is like ignoring half of myself. I’m not going to do that. I’m going to take pride of who I am. One day when I have kids and they start asking questions I‘m going to tell them the whole truth. They deserve that - as do I.
If your a relative - adopted or birth - get in touch. I’d love to see proof.
