I was born in Mecklenburg county of Charlotte NC in September of 1968. I went to Paw Creek Elementary School. :) I found out by accident a couple years ago that I was adopted. My amom doesn't have any idea that I know and I have no plans of telling her due to the fact that she apparently doesn't want me to know and I'm not sure how it would affect her. I love her and my adad (who is now deceased) very much. I will always think of them as my "mom and dad". Yes, it bothers me that she won't tell me, especially with me having two kids of my own (girl 19 / boy 15). It frustrates me because we are not aware of our medical history. :confused: I don't know much about the adoption, although I did contact the NC Social Services (or whoever) and did receive a letter of "non-identifying" information. I believe my bmother was 16 when I was born, I have a bbrother who is 3 or 4 years older than me and her and my bfather were not married when I was born. It was a private adoption. I know I have an uncle who ironically my older abrother (Chris, now age 50) use to "hang out" with (can't remember his name). I'm not sure of my amom's situation at the time. I just know that a good friend of my amom's knew her and that she was pregnant and was planning to give me up for adoption and she introduced the two because my amom wanted to adopt. I have looked and looked through the forums, just to see if I would see my birthdate or where I was born, but have not. I can't help but wonder, "does she think of me"? If no one wants to contact me, okay, but if this situation sounds familiar to ANYONE and you think you may know someone in my birthfamily, at least contact me, even if anonymously, and give me a little information on medical history or whatever. I do not plan to interrupt anyone's lives, I would just like closure. Thank you :female:
