Adopted people

[hedgier1]

I was adopted at birth in 74. Child services is a crock of shit as they gave me info relating to my father that was a load of bullshit as my mum had a one night stand and didn't know him from a bar of soap.

I have a brother somewhere, 6 years older than me, born in 1968. Mum sent away and forced to give him up (by family).

My brother was adopted in '68, and Mum and Dad (my blood relatives - his adopting parent) did an awesome job of the whole thing. He's my brother pure and simple and I've never really had reason to think otherwise unless the topic specifically comes up as in this case.

Happy to share what I know.

My mum was adopted back in the 50's, she made contact with her birth parents about 10 years ago.

Mum had her first daughter in '65 and was forced to adopt her out. Found out about this when I was 12. At 18 I helped mum get the ball rolling to find her. She was the lucky one.
