It's hard knowing that the children you gave birth to were raised by some one other than yourself. I know life has a lot of challenges and there are compromised to be made, though it doesn't mean that you don't feel guilty for the chooses you have made.

Living life as an adopted person is some times difficult. Not that you don't have a wonderful family..cause I do...you just always wonder who you are. What is my birth family like? Who do I look like? Does my birth mother ever think about me? Does she ever wonder what I look like, how I turned out, what I like and don't like? People who are not adopted do not understand this at all. They know their family history. They know who they look like, where they get there traits from and don't feel that something is missing. That is the best way to describe the way I feel. I love my family, my parents, my siblings, my children and grandchildren...I just feel like a part of me is missing. I would love to meet my birth family. To know where I come from and who I look like. To know where I get some of my traits and quirks. Some day maybe I will met them and hopefully I will then feel complete.

Words to live by

Life is a series of events, some good, some bad. It's what makes us who we are. Learn from these events but don't dwell on the bad ones, for you can't change them. Appreciate every day, for there are no guarantees that there will be a tomorrow. Live life, love, laugh and enjoy those around you.

Constant disappointment leads to resentment. Try not to disappoint those you care for and don't make promises you can't keep.

Life is hard but it's even harder if your stupid. (John Wayne)
