i am adopted for years i was so angry at my parents because they did not give me up but my brother and i got taken and they did not fight for me they left and it hurt and i never got the opportunity to say that i forgave them for what they did to me not only leaving but the abuse they put me through my mom died when she was 40 and i now have the opportunity to meet my baby sister and tell her that i forgave them
Just a note to anyone out there who has,or will leave a comment that needs responding to....My life can be crazy and I don't often have time for the computer. Please don't ever think I don't care...I always care! I appreciate, more than you know, when someone cares enough to see my story....and when someone shares a piece of theirs, it feels like you leave a piece of you w/ me! Thank you for that....I pray for each and every one of u <3
Beautiful. I am a birth mother who hand picked my daughters parents (open adoption) and have never missed a christmas gift or a birthday in her while 17 yrs. Her mother and I kept in touch through letters and pics several times a year, all the while forming a bond of our own.
Now 18 yrs later, high school grad is nearing...I can't believe I'm finally going to meet her, just as her mom and I planned!
Instead, I found out it was all a lie. 18 yrs of her placating me, hoping I'd go away...
@LyricsSpkVolYOUms (part 1) I'm SO sorry for yr heartache! I really feel 4 u... Mine was closed, but I lived w/ the family for awhile. They "wined and dined me", made promises of a future reunion. The mom became my "best friend" as I felt cast out/shut out from the world.... read on please
@LyricsSpkVolYOUms (part 2) 18yrs later, not only had she not kept her promises, but then told MY daughter to stay away from me?! Supposedly, I gave her the greatest gift in the world (she was/is to ME)! If she's not capable of saying thank u, shouldn't she ATLEAST respect her daughter enough not 2 make her feel torn?! I pray God will touch yr child's heart (as well as mine) and we can one day know the love of our children!
I am an teenage adoptee the pain and suffering is very true. i was adopted when i was a baby along with my 2 year old brother. my brother and i was mentally abused growing up in our adopted family. i found my birth mother and my little brother a couple of months ago which brings happyness but yet sadness bc i see families all the time wishing it was me. my dad committed suicide when i was young which doesnt help either i wish u the best
@devi7150 Yr story is so hard for me to respond 2...Yr situation was one of my worst fears when I "placed" my child! I'm so sorry u don't feel loved the way u want 2 b! I think u just may b loved more than yr willing (or able) to except. I'm not trying 2 down-play the way u feel, only uplift you. I don't know the people around u so I don't presume 2 know their hearts. Just please, know that EVERY family (even those without adoption) have their share of problems...we all feel empty at times
I hope you find your daughter. This is an endless nightmare for me and most of us. Americans are brainwashed about adoption. Most people can't begin to imagine our agony or the traumatic effects of this unholy, unnatural separation on us and our children. PTSD is one. No one can justify this. Adoption is legalized abuse. Most babies were taken from their real mothers by fraud and coercion. Google 'rickarby submission,' 'shotgun adoption' and 'schuster adoption corruption'.
I want you to know that I gained my son from adoption. And from all the adoptive mothers out there I want to say thank you for the gift you've given. You gave life to this amazing human, something we couldn't. I want you to know that they think about you every day, wonder about you, and pray for you. Only a mother's love could ever think of putting herself last and allowing her child to have a home and a life that she couldn't provide. You are the true meaning of the word Mom!
CARL R TRIPP HAS A DAUGHTER WHO WAS BORN SHANNA MARIE ELIZABETH TRIPP
ON 09/11/1978. HIS HEART CRIES OUT TO BE REUNITED WITH HER. SHE WAS SNATCHED FROM HER HOME AND HIS HEART AGAINST HIS WILL ON 11/1//1978 AND PLACED FOR ADOPTION IN
CHICAGO IL. PLEASE ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPECAITED (SHANNA IN MY HEART 4-EVER)
I loved this video, it is a great insight in how my birthmother must feel. I used to get frustrated as to why my birth mother put me up for adoption. I know it was her duty because she loved me. I will always love her. Now I know I must return the favor by looking for her.
Hello, I am a birth mother and I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your video. I am a bit confused. There are a few pictures with you and another woman with another baby. I know it's none of my business I was just curious if the other was yours as well. I wish you nothing but peace and strength. Even when we know it was the best thing I still have my moments of weakness. God Bless you and your child. Xoxox
Thanks you so much for this video. Our daughter is one now, and I wish everyone had an open adopton, like we have with her birth mother.
The reality is that a child who is adopted has two mothers, and should be able to have access to both, if humanly possible.
I can say that the most humbling thing I have ever expeienced is having this young woman give me her child, and I need my daughter to know this lovely person from the very beginning.
Remeeting Rollercoaster..Bless all adoptees..God knows how they cope..Remeeting with your loving natural mum is the best?...for a while!Then you both get on the emotional rollercoaster ride.. Hold on tight! it's a hell of a ride!...Hopefully u don't feel too queezey and get off before you have completed the ride, it can be slowed down...but don't get off...U need to complete the ride to find yourself and peace of mind...A thankful mum on for the full ride...however long it takes..
That was so touching! It brought me some comfort that was much needed and reminded me that even though I feel so alone most of the time, there is somebody out there that can truly relate to how hard it is, and that I'm not the only one who goes through this pain. Thanks for making a difference in my day!!
Hi, I'm adopted and was very moved by your heartfelt video. I had 6 years with my birthmother before I lost her to cancer. It was a lifetime in 6 years. Her death left a huge empty hole in my heart. As a legacy to my birth mum, I created a greeting card business that acknowledges those relationships resulting from separation, loss and reunification. This is a story of "lost and found", "found and lost". Please have a look at "reunite cards", google will get you there. Let me know what you think
Your video is so very beautiful. If I were to make one for my birth daughter Brittany, it would be very much like this one because I feel the same way about her. I lost her to the state of Colorado when she was a newborn cause of my ex being stupid and then again when her foster (now adoptive parents) lied about me to the courts after they got a visit from her. She was 1 1/2 then and I have not seen her since. I hope your birth child gets to see this beautiful video someday.
I meant to rate this video as a 5 but I accidently hit the one. It was a bittersweet video that just wrenched at my heart... I hope the one it is meant for see's it.
I just can't believe my birthmother does not want to have contact. She doesn't deny having me, she just doesn't want contact. ??? After watching so many of these videos from birthmothers, I still try to figure out why her pain is so hard to hurdle. I am here with open arms....just reach out and see what is standing right in front of you!!
I've struggled greatly to find words the words to reply. I'm quite sure I do not have the answers you seek though I am deeply sorry for your pain! It seems yours and my fears are much the same (just opposite). I have to say my greatest prayer is that yours and mine will learn to see past the hurt one day and love us both again!!! p.s. please give her time...
@txkat123 I think sometimes people have psychological/emotional breaks.. (psychosis of sorts).. and perhaps sometimes it happens before a child is born and having nothing to do with the baby.. perhaps it is an example of one of the aspects of the human condition.. and fragility of spiritual/physical/mental health. It can also be seen in people with Alzheimer disease.
Yes, it's hard to lose a child to adoption, because people don't really realize that IT IS A LOSS.
Absolutely lovely, may you find peace in your heart. I cannot help myself, I hope you are reunited and it is more wonderful than you can even imagine.
Thank you So very much! The fear my feelings may not be reciprocated have made the task of reaching out all the more difficult. Again, thank you for your support. The years have been long and lonely with no one in "my world" who was of any support.
