I was born in 1968 and was adopted by the best mom and dad any child could ever have, my two brothers were also adopted the three of us all have diffrent bio-parents..when I was 6yrs. old i started having seizures and went through alot of treatments to find out what caused them and they never did figure out why, but thankfully i was blessed to be able to come off of my medicine that stopped them at 16 yrs. old and haven't had any since...but when i got older and eventually had a daughter of my own at 24yrs old becoming a mother i guess triggered me to want to find my bio mom plus i wanted to mainly for the medical reasons and just knowing from being curious also...I was told by some people that i could get hurt and there is a risk that she may not want to have anything to do with that part in her life but i still told myself it was a risk i wanted to take...i first got some non identifying info. and then about 2 weeks later i would say the foster care agency had found her...she had married my bio dad and had two other children after having me..even though there is more to the story in short our reunion did not go well...we had known each other for 18 yrs. after me finding them and i think there expectations of what they had hoped how i would have turned out was not met for them and i now wish after all the heartache me and my family went through that they would have been honest and considerate enough to leave well enough alone and not wanted to have met me and my family because now my daughter is so very hurt at them rejecting her also as far as grandparents...i am grateful at least to know my medical background though
As someone who has not had that contact with bmother yet, I find stories like yours to be disquieting. Try to focus on the 2 positive outcomes that happened for you though...you know some of your medical background, and you know that your adoptive parents were truly the greatest blessing that could have happened to your life. Time changes people, and you at least know where to find your bparents and siblings if you decide to ever reach out again in the future. Take solace in the knowledge that you planted a seed. Whether it ever grows into something is outside your control, but you did what you could.
