Might not have been that she didn鈥檛 want you, it could have been she couldn鈥檛 have you

It doesn't matter. It's history.
You've got a good mum who wants you.

@BigbangFACTS Most people get parents and a genetic background in one conventional package. So most people do not know how it feels to have common and in some cases essential information not available. Wanting to to know more about one's origins and personal background doesn't in any way mean that our adopted parents don't feel like our parents to us. It just means we are curious about our backgrounds like everyone else--but most people find that out easily while adoptees must make a special effort.

@g0thb4by Have you considered locating your birth mother so you can know more about the situation? There is an organization called ALMA that helps people locate birth families.

@nedkelly No! I adopted someone else's. I asked for an open adoption so that the mother would never wonder how they were being treated or if they were happy and healthy. I also wanted them to know their mother. She loved them but couldn't afford to give them the life they deserved.

@MrAverage1965 I am an adoptee that found my birth family. I found out why I was put up for adoption. And I am now friends with a wonderful kind sister. Finding your original family will give you many answers.

@g0thb4by I'm sure that you do think of her often. I think that every mom wants their child but even more they want them to have a great life. Sometimes young moms have difficult situations that they have to deal with surrounding their child's conception or birth. I do think in the end they don't give their babies up lightly at all. I think that if I were in that situation I would surely wonder about her too and I would send her love in the hope that it would heal whatever brought about my adoption.. I empathise
Are you planning to try and find your birth mom?

@PrivateHell Being adopted at birth isn't really that much different than being born to a couple like most other people. And adopted children, contrary to popular opinion, are not automatically loved, adored, spoiled etc. Like other children, they have good, bad and mediocre parents. Adoptive parents DO sometimes behave badly just like regular parents sometimes do. If you doubt this possibility, you can read my Featured story under my Profile here. I was adopted by parents who never should've had children. Most adoptive parents do a good job, like regular parents, but not all.

@gobphus Adoptive families, like regular families, vary. Not all adoptive families are loving and happy. In fact, being an adoptee is the only situation I know of in which, if you are abused, you are told to be grateful.

Well the way you think about is through different eyes than the ones of a person who have a decision to keep something or not. At that time you were yet not a personality, so it doesn't matter who you were she'd still do what she did. Because of that it wasn't because of you, it was more likely because of the responsibility.
