Have you adopted a baby? Given a baby up? Were you adopted yourself? What did that mean for you? Is there anything you resent? What are the positives? What kind of connection do you feel with your birth parents?

My wife and I have adopted one little girl and are now in the process of adopting a second. Adoption is a big part of our extended family. My sister was adopted. My wife was adopted. We tracked my wife's birthmother and discovered that she, too, was adopted.
My wife resents the lies she was told while growing up. The parents who raised her and the lawyer doing the adoption fed her a bunch of lies that she has had to sort through. Although the parents who raised her are now dead, she has had great joy in getting to know her birthmother and her half sister.
My daughter will never know who her birthparents were. She and our second daughter were adopted from China.
I'm lucky, very lucky. My wife and I had to go through a lot to adopt our girls. I wish every parent had to do the same. Maybe then children would be better appreciated and raised.
It takes a special person(s) to adopt. Too bad there isn't the same for people to conceive.

My parents are adopting a baby boy from Nairobi Kenya. He was abandon as a baby left in the bushes to die. He was found and put into a Feed The Children orphan. My parents volunteered at FTC and that's where they met him and feel in love with him. He's a very happy baby and I'm proud that I can call him my brother.

I was adopted when I was 8 days old and grew up with a wonderful and loving set of parents. In search for my medical history, I found my birthmother a few years ago and am now friends with her and very close with my biological grandmother. Though my birthmom will never be my mom in my heart, I am glad she choose to give me a better life than she could provide for me. I was glad to be able to thank her for that.
My MOM is the woman who raised me, changed my diapers, wiped my nose, chased away the boogey man, hurt when I hurt and laugh when I laugh. We could not be closer had I spent my first 9 months inside of her!!!!

Well I was adopted by my parents to a chinese woman and English man. As you can imagine it was very confusing as a child. I have no contact with my birth parents. And my adopted mum is very old and frail. But I ahve no ill feeling to my origianal parents.
