Understanding More Now
Hi everyone.
It's good to be back and I knew I had to come back and share something with you.
First of all my daughter and I have been going through a rough spot and it looks like it's going to stay rough for a while.
Anyway that's neither here nor there.
My husband talked to me and brought up something I never thought about before
or maybe I was so full of anger at my birth mother I didn't want to think about this.
He said maybe my mother was a great lady but after I was born and she kept me for 6 weeks maybe she suffered postpartum depression and maybe that and the fact she wasn't able to support me was just too much for her.
And the more I think about it maybe that is what happened.
I don't know if in 1940 they ever heard of postpartum depression or if they had maybe not all that much.
I have found the anger I have held in my heart for her all these years has soften. Don't get me wrong nothing will change the fact that I wanted a mother
a good one not the adopted mother I got. That hurt will never go away.
Anyway I just wanted to share with you that I'm looking at my b/m a different way and admitting nothing is ever all black or white there is always more to the story than what we are told about being adopted.
Take care everyone and be safe.

I'm Curious
And I don't expect an answer but will ask anyway.
Are there any members in here that were adopted?
Nosy question I know.
Have a great day,
Sandy

An Empty Tree
I have probably posted this before but will again.
I'm from NY where the records are sealed.
It would be nice if NY would unseal the records.
I have tried searching for my birth family but most of the time
it was dead ends.
However I did find out I have a brother or sister 4 years older than I.
I'm almost 68 now and there is no hope I will ever know my birth family.
An Empty Tree
With branches bare for all
to see.
This tree longs to have it's
branches filled with
knowledge and life but it's not
meant to be.
This empty tree will be forever
and sadness and tears will
always cover it like a dark cloud.
It's not the trees fault because
it has no life.
This tree is mine and it's a family
tree.
You see we have two trees one is
for my husbands family and one is
for my husband and I.
Our branches thank God are filled with
our children's name and their children's
names and it's so beautiful.
But my family tree with a mom, dad and ancestors
will be lost and forgotten for it just doesn't
exist.
Adopted as a baby I'm left with nothing.
A borrowed name that I can't claim.

This Is A Very Special Group
and one that I feel does a great service to both adoptees and birth parents.
Hopefully it will become more active and I know I'm going to try to do my part.
I'm sure if anyone has any suggestions on how to breathe life into the group
MaidMim would love to hear them.
Managers always need suggestions.
Have a great day everyone,
Sandy
