i grew up knowing that i was adopted. there wasnt any shock, or feelings of not being wanted. my parents used to tell me the story of how they 'got' me before i went to bed as a little kid, just like they told my sister how they found out they were pregnant with her.
its a great story! my mom got a phone call from the agency stating that they had a little girl for them, so my mom called my dad at work, screaming and crying so much my dad thought the house was on fire! )they only had about 2 weeks to prepare for me), so they went to the foster home to pick me up and there i was in a little pink dress, with a pink bow taped to my head (totally bald head!) and they took me home and put me under the christmas tree. and had a party to welcome me home. they said i was the best christmas present any one could ever wish for.
im hoping that i can find my birth mother and thank her for giving me up. my parents and step parents are wonderful and i have a loving solid relationship with them. right now im just really curious about who she is.
i used to wonder why she gave me up, and i was sad about it when i was younger. but now im greatfull. she gave me up so i could have a better life, and i want to tell her thank you.

my story is very similar to yours, Ive always known too. My dad got a letter from the agency on his birthday (valentines day) saying they were approved to adopt a child. On my moms birthday they got the call to come pick me up, I was 6 weeks old. I have always been my daddy's Valentine Girl ;)
The way they told me was my dad wrote a song explaining how special I am to them and how I was adopted. He sang that song to me every night as I was growing up, still does sometimes :)
I'd love to locate my bio-family and let them know what wonderful parents Ive had, how much I was loved and what a good decision my adoption was. As a mother myself I know how difficult the decision must have been for her, my heart sometimes breaks thinking about how she must have felt and still may feel.
BTW I was totally bald too lol, I didnt even grow fuzz until after I was 2!! I hope you do get to find them and have the opportunity to tell them everything you have longed to say....God Bless You and your search!

thank you for such a nice responce! it put a smile on my face. im a mother also, and i can appricate the dificult decision she had to make, and im very glad she did!im hoping this decision to locate my birth mother is a good one. there are so many 'what if's' out there. but any way it turns out ill be glad i took the leap to find her.
I, too, grew up knowing I was adopted it was never a secret. One day a neighbor girl called me and said she had something very difficult to tell me and I needed to come to her house right away. When I got to her house she sat me down on the front steps and proceeded to tell me I was adopted. "That's what you wanted to tell me?" I replied. I already knew that.
Sure took the wind out of her sails. I skipped home and told mom. We both laughed.:flower:
