adopted?? Options

[tinababy143]

hey guys! just curious..were you or do you know anyone who was adopted?? Do you or have your friends ever wanted to meet their biological parents??

I was adopted since before I was born, so the family I have now is the only family I have known. When I was 13-16 I was really curious about my biological parents and my mom always told me "when I was 18" I could ask and she would give me all the information I wanted, but after I turned sixteen i didnt really want to know about it, but at the same time it could just be a phase..so yeah..just wondering..

[lolthissiteisfun...]

I have 2 friends who are adopted. One hates her mother for giving her up, and never wants to see her, but the other one has met her dad, but not her mom.

[Nicolatofu]

Wow, I had no idea you were adopted..
I don't know anyone adopted and I'm not adopted myself, but I know a girl whose parents died like 2 months ago and she lives with foster parents.

[jennyjenny]

One of the reasons why I wouldn't want to adopt. I wouldn't want my kid to ask who their biological parents are and why they were put for adoption.

Anyways, I know this girl who was adopted. I think.

[Chii]

it's not really a phase, everyone would like to know who their parents are and the whole story. you have a right to know since those people you want to know about are your own flesh and blood, it's nice that you're adoptive parents respect that

sometimes...i hope i was adopted...

[to-devastate]

I don't know anyone adopted.. and I wasn't adopted myself.
I think that if I was adopted and found out like today, I would be one pissed off little kid.

[dani41790]

i have friends who are adopted but im not

[jenika]

i dont know anyone who are adopted but im kinda in the same situation...like i dont know who my mother is and what happened to her and my grandma and uncle wont tell me cause they said id be too heartbrokenn..

[loljuliana]

I`m not adopted but sometimes I feel like I am. I dont look like my parents at all. And we are really different.

[DanielleMaria05]

My little sister is adopted. But not in the same way that you are talking about.

Shes my cousins, and my cousin was only 14 when she had her 1st child, and Gabrielle, who is her 2nd she had when she was 16. Well, she wasnt' taking care of her correctly, so, my mom adopted her. Shes like almost mine. As I type now shes on my lap. She calls me mom too! We've had her since she was 2mos old. She'll be 3 in June

[yeseulx3]

my friend is adopted...
she gets really sensitive when talking about parents.

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

one of my very close friends are adopted. she told me and then i was liek "i'm sorry" and then shes like "well i dont really care because i'm wiht the family i lvoe now and my mom is the mom thats been there for me and i dont really care to find my biological parents because i have teh parents that i love" that is such a col attitude. shes awesome

[cocoalightning27]

I swear there was a topic on this.,..and No i wasn't adopted, but once in a while my parents joke about it...

[*mzkandi*]

^^there was a topic on this already, you're right. no i am not adopted but i plan to adopt when i am married

[XaZnX07]

nope not really but i always wonder how that works the feeling of being an adopted child

.:tony:.

[*jooleeah*]

Yeah, there is a topic on this already. It's alright, just next time use the search button

To answer your question, no. I'm not adopted. I do want to adopt kids when I grow older, though.

[Shattered_Hope]

Not that I know of....no...

[KissMe2408]

yah, i'm adopted. and am really interested in going back to korea and finding my birth parents. My mom said she'd let me if I really wanted to. But for some reason, i want to wait until im 18. lol i dunno.

[KELLYYY]

Well my Step Dad adopted me when i was about a year old...

i still have the same mom... my biological dad visits me and stuff... he has his own family and my mom and step dad still talks to him....

so basically his like an uncle...

You're adopted?

I don't think I'm adopted. I don't think I know anyone that's adopted. I would kill myself if I never knew one of my real parents.

[Im So Vain]

no i wasnt adopted, and none of my friends were. but well think of it this way its better to be adopted than be in a fostekid. because i did know a girl who is a foster child, but she ran away, cuz she wanted to find her birth mother. as long as you have parents that love you that is all that should matter, whether they are biological or not.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I have one friend who is my host and is adopted and she really loves her parents. She hopes to be like them one day. And I'm not adopted.

[tinababy143]

I don't know anyone adopted.. and I wasn't adopted myself.
I think that if I was adopted and found out like today, I would be one pissed off little kid.

yeah..that would suck..but i found out as soon as I was old enough to understand what being adopted meant..i havent had any problems with it at all..

I swear there was a topic on this

sorry..i did a search and didnt find anything on it

Wow, I had no idea you were adopted..

yeah..if you see me with my mom or sister, you would think that..but if you saw me with my dad..you wouldnt..just by appearance..



from left to right..dad, sister, mom haha..obvious..heres a better pic of my sis tho..

[tinababy143]

ehh..sorry for double posting..but i just read this post =/

one of my very close friends are adopted.  she told me and then i was liek "i'm sorry" and then shes like "well i dont really care because i'm wiht the family i lvoe now and my mom is the mom thats been there for me and i dont really care to find my biological parents because i have teh parents that i love"  that is such a col attitude.  shes awesome

yeah..thats pretty much how i feel about it..i mean..i absolutely LOVE the family I am with right now and like I said before..they are the only family i have ever known..they are the ones who have always been there for me and they are the ones who have helped me through everything and watched me grow up..its weird tho cos i always think about what if i wasnt adopted by this family..what if i was adopted by a family in like...kansas or something..would i still have this hairstyle?? would i have gotten my license at age 16 instead of 18..etc..i always think about stuff like that haha

[Note]

No. I really feel sad thinking about the ppl that lost there moms and dad.

yeah..there are tons of different types of adoptions tho..i was given up for adoption because my biological parents..well..at least my biological mother..was too young to take care of me..its weird to think about it though because i was SOOOOOO close to being aborted..but at the time my grandmother was a nurse and she tried to convince couples to keep their children and then give them up for adoption and luckily she convinced my biological parents to go through with it

[megan_x3]

i wasnt adopted. and i hope that i wasn't. i had almost been given to my uncle-wife. which was really chaotic. but glad my mom kept me.

[starlette]

my mom, aunt, and 2 uncles were all adopted from different families, because my grandmother coulndt bear children. My mom never wanted to meet her real family, but my aunt did. She visits them every thanksgiving. She actually has three sisters and a brother. Her mother gave her up because she was really really poor and her husband had left her to care for the four kids she had and then one on the way and she just couldnt do it. My aunt is really happy shegot cuirious and looked it up. She now has more people to love!

[[o0p]]

yuea ;; a person i talk to at school was adopted ;; but were not friends.

[xTINAA]

Well, my dad was adopted along with his twin and his older brother. Otherwise I don't really know many people who have been adopted.

[hktomboi]

[AngelTears]

I'm not adopted.

But I have a good friend who is. I dont know why her mother (or parents) gave her up, but I'm not willing to risk hurting her feelings to ask her about it. She has a bunch of other adopted siblings too, all from diffrent familys. *nod*

[*lolita kitty*]

when i was in 5th grade, i knew thius girl who was adopted... yeah...
im not though.

[twelveislands]

I don't know anyone that's adopted but I know someone who fostered. He's alright about it though.

[racoons > you]

my two cousins are adopted... they were 2 and 1, and are actually brothers, but they were removed from their biological mother, who was acomplete f**k up

they're so funny...

[avalon*]

I know someone who was adopted, and he looks a lot like his parents who adopted him.

[*Kathleen*]

I`m not adopted but sometimes I feel like I am. I dont look like my parents at all. And we are really different.

*Sigh* Same here. Harr. As for adopted people, I know this guy on another forum I visit was adopted when he was just a kid because his fifteen year-old mother was a druggie. I know someone in real life on my forensics team that is adopted, though. She never knew her parents, but she's pretty happy with her adoptive parents.

[heyyfrankie]

one of my sister's friends is adopted. she is from romania and she has been adopted ever since she was like a few months old. i don't think she knows very much if anything about her biological family considering she is from romania but i know a boy at my school who was also adopted and he couldn't find out anything about his real parents.

[glit_gal]

wow i think you are the first person who i have ever met who was adopted. i mean seriously, I have never met an adopted person in my whole entire life. Although i do have a friend who has lost one of her parents in a car crash.

[mickybeans]

No. I really feel sad thinking about the ppl that lost there moms and dad. 

[jerry]

same here. i get really sad just thinking about it. one of my friends found out when she was thirteen that her "mom" was really her aunt. she's been trying to find her biological mother but no one knows where she is.. :(

[xMayleex]

One of my friends in school is adopted and he wants to meet his biological parents.

[Teesa]

When I was in fourth grade, I learned that one of my best friends was adopted. She didn't really like talking about it, but she did say that she was happy with her adoptive parents and had no desire to meet her biological parents.

[KERP1UNK]

i have 1 friend who is adopted..

[racoons > you]

^^

i bet she will eventually...

to teesa/ damn i knew someone would beat me to it

[*Azarel*]

I myself am not adopted, but I know lots of people that were. My ex's father was adopted too. Bleh.

[the_crox]

my father was taken in by his aunt. Is that adopting?

edit// I remember... My moms co-worker and my neighbors son. It's sad he doesn't know.

[toodlepops.]

Nope, I'm not.
I swear there was another topic on this a while ago.

[sheepy]

i'm not adopted nor do i know anyone that is. it'll be kinda..weird. living with people you know you're not really exactly related to.
