Birth Sibling...

:confused: Hello! My name is Megan, I've posted this story/discussion thing today because it's something that has been really bugging me the past couple months. A little background on my self. I am 19, currently living in Saint Paul, Mn. I have four siblings all of which are adopted. I've known my whole life about them, I have received pictures of them a couple years and a few letters updating me and my family about how they were doing. I am the oldest of my mothers 5 children. My mother, who through a series of unfortunate events lost me, and I was put in foster care. My mother really did not want me in foster care, so she asked my grandmother if she would take me for 3 months. Well little did my mother or my grandmother know at that time, that the 3 months would turn into 18 years, but enough about me, lets move on.... My two sisters Justina (17) and Jasmine (15) were adopted by a very nice couple, I believe in 94 or 95. My family was adamant on getting the two of them adopted together, we didn't want to break them up in fear we would lose contact with one of them. Thankfully, we finally found a couple who was willing to adopt both of them :cheer:. My mother continued to do drugs and not make the best decisions so she left about 94ish. Then in 1996 came back home. ugh. She met a new guy, Kevin. ew ok. Anywho's they got married...and in Jan 97 I got a baby brother! And again in 99. I loved those boys! I was there big sister. Then in 2000, everything went to hell. Kevin and Mom got in a fight, Kevin leaves, Mom leaves, boy's are taken away sent to foster home. Kevin is unable to take care of the boys and so is mom, so now the boys are put up for adoption. :hissy: Unfortunetly, no one in my family is able to take the boys in. Once again my family is adamant on getting them adopted together. Months go by, I visisted my brothers once at there foster home with my Aunt. They were so big! And then finally we get the call the've been adopted! And guess what!! Drum roll please!................................................ By the same couple who adopted my sisters!!!!!!!!! :cheer: :thanks: There are not words to explain how excited I was, now I know that whenever I do see them again their all together. I don't know if my brothers and sisters know I am out here, after all they were very young when they left. But what I do know is that I miss them EVERYDAY. My family love's those kids, and my only wish is that my grandma gets to see them again before she dies (which hopefully isn't for a LONG time). On Nov. 22 of this year my oldest sister, Justina will be turning 18. Yay!. This mean she can legally, look for her birth family if she wants to. I guess one thing I've been wondering, is that whenever you're reading about adoption, there's often a lot of stuff for the adopting parents (duh) and birth parents (another duh) but what about the Birth siblings or in my case sibling. My brothers and sister grew up together, they know each other. They already consider themselves brother and sister. And then there's me. Sometime's I almost feel like I am the one who was adopted. (Does any of that make sense???) :confused: Ughh, I dont know maybe I am making no sense. Well thank you for reading my very long post. You are very brave! :thanks: Megan :woohoo:
