Yes! I got them early!!!


I never expected this to happen to ME. Here is my story....

Some of you did not know that I was adopted when I was 18 hrs old. My husband and I moved to Salt Lake City from Orem. We wanted a new life. I have lived in Orem for a long time. After we moved to SLC, I had not visited Orem for a long time and been wanting to see my sister and her family. So we finally visited. Then all of the sudden,.... it was a little bizarre but there was a phone ringing, and it changed my life forever. Someone said that my birth family was looking for me. I was in a denial. I was overwhelming. I didn't believe at first that my biological family was looking for me. I refused to believe it!!! Then next day, my husband was using my computer. He saw a message was popping up. And he told me that there was a message from (a state withheld) adoption registry. I learned that it was a lady who owned the website. She said that I actually posted it up about me. I read and said, (the town is withheld) I am deaf and searching for my relatives who are hispanic. My birth mother gave me up to her former OBGYN doctor to be my adoptive father. I know this situation is rare. I pray that any of my true relatives find me. And the person who owned the website said that there was a sister that knew that I was the one. I didn't believe it! I emailed her back how does that work? How we really know that I am the 100% birth sister of hers? At the same time, I wonder why wasn't my birth mother looking for me but my sister is? I thought...where is she? But it took me a week to decide if I wanted to reunite with her. Somehow my birth sister emailed me and I was in shock. I knew this is what I had to do. I knew I need to find out who I am. I felt the spirit that was telling me to call her back/email her. So I did. She was very happy. So was I. Later in that day, I called her at her home. We spoke for like two hours and half. I learned that I have four sisters. I am the third of 5 girls. The moment I asked her, Alicia, that's her name! I asked her where was my birth mother?Alicia explained about my birth mother and I bursted out many tears...and couldn't take it. I was heartbroken. I learned that my birth mother died two years ago from pulomary disease because she smoked a lot. The more I cried and it was very difficult to hear what Alicia had added that, my birth mother loved me and thought of me every day because all of my life, I believed in 90% that my birth mother didn't love me and wasn't thinking of me. And that she regretted that she gave me up. I cried for a while and couldn't believe that she is really gone. I was so sad that I hadn't had a chance to meet her. I always dreamt that I could meet her and run to her and embracing. It was too hard. Alicia was too crying.

It was very emotional experience for me. I am so happy that we found each other. Don't take it wrong, my adopted family are the best thing to me. My parents are my rocks and my saviors. I am grateful for my birth mother was unselfish enough to gave me up for a family who could provided me a better home. It was just amazing feeling to know that I am loved by my birth mother and now I know that my biological sisters are very excited to meet me. Hopefully, we get to meet each other during New Year!
 
Bewitched, that's a very happy ending you've had with family that found you. :) I'm glad it went well and have a great Christmas with them! :D
 
That's great news. :)

I'm adopted too. I knew my birth mother until I was 8 years old. After that, I never saw her again. Right now, I don't really have the motivation to seek her out. I'm not saying that I don't want to see her nor am I saying that I do want to see her. It's just that I don't feel like it at the moment. Perhaps, I will in the future.

For you, it's a moment that's happened and that's great.
 
Aw Bewitched - that was the most beautiful and wonderful news ! I had my tears when I read your post. *wipin' away tears* I had a similiar like yours but, I am not adopted thou. I found my father after 25 years later before he passed away in 1990's due to pneumonia and heavy smokin'. I am glad that I had a chance to meet him and then took him to meet his other 2 birth children ( my 2 natural siblin' ) that he hasn't seen for over 25 years. It was a very wonderful experience for me. I am so happy that you've found your natural family again.

And, yes this is the best Christmas Spirit as you ever had ! :hug:
 
Awww Awwww Happy ending and also sad ending too? I am so glad that you finally met your sister, but on another hands I'm sorry about your mother being passed away even through you never knew her personally, I can see why that hurts you a great deal, And now that you know that she loved you dearly and that's important to hold onto to your heart. :hug:


I'm sure it was an emotional experience for you knowing your sister and your mother after all those years. I would say the same thing you would say, It's the best Christmas anyone could ever ask for. You're lucky you have more people out there on the other side of your family that loves you and still remembers you. ;)
 
Awsome and Wonderful news.. Glad that you have found your real family.. My son is adopted also but I am bit worried about later in his life, in case if he asks me questions about his real parents (since his real parents got killed) and I would have to tell him truth but the bit problems are that he might wouldn't believe me.

We are so happy to hearing that you finally found your biology sister all those years !! Blessing Alica chat with you to tell you, where your family were.

Thanks for your beautiful story share with us. :)

:ily:
 
Aww Bewitched :hug:

That was really a beautiful story you have said there, I know it must be hard not being able to meet your biological mother in person, but only to be able to feel her by spirits, I'm glad to know that you'll be meeting both of your sisters, and knowing how much they both missed you...At least you know the truth about your biological mother, knowing that she does love you and was thinking of you since the day she gave u up....

Let us know how the meeting goes with your sisters, take some pictures if you can :)
 
Beautiful and wonderful story!!! I'm so happy to hear that!! Best Christmas gift that you got!! Enjoy!!:)
 
Awwwwwwwww what a touchy story. I am glad you got the best xmas gift. Cherish it will ya!!!

I never saw my Dad since I was 5 yrs old and I dont want to see him cuz he is bad news. But knowing that my mom took great care of all 3 kids on her own and so now she passed on to remmy her in my heart.

Wish you the best of luck when you meet your sisters!! :hug:
 
thats great. i'm glad tto hear. it s a great gift for you. I know its very anxious to meet the families.
 
Reading your story brought tears to my eyes. It is really wonderful that you have finally found your birth family and that you are very happy with your best Christmas present :)
 
Wow, your story is so profound and inspiring. I am adopted as well. I found my birthmom 11 years ago, but it turned out it was awkward for us because she did not know that I am Deaf. She didn't know what to do with me cuz of my deafness. Sighs. I haven't meet any other biological relatives yet, but hopefully, I will. The closest relative is my biological aunt who lives in Wappingers Falls, NY, just one hour or so north of New York City. That's all I know so far.

Please keep us posted how your meeting with your biological sisters going. :)
 
Wow! It is sure a best gift ever you got!!! How awesome!!

I am adopted also. My adopted parents are in heaven now. I am glad they adopted me but in some other way a little pissed off. But that was in the past and I cannot change it.

My real mom found me...how? Her 2nd or 3rd cousin (can't remember) worked in Hawaii and can access in DMV records. And got my address (it was old address and I didn't update it lol!). She sent me letter...I was puzzled who was that. So I opened and read it..it was my real mom. I cried...I called her and made a plans to meet for 1st time in 20 years. So we met on July 19 (I think), 1994 in Reno, Nevada. (That's where I grew up for 15 years) We did get along okay but we have up and downs for last 11 years. I have only one half brother, Jason (he was born on Leap year! Pretty cool!)

Now we are 3,000 miles away but she still comes for visit...she love her grandson soooo much...I am trying to find a way to get a cheap airfare to go Los Angeles this late July and early August. So my son can spend two whole weeks with grandma and grandpa Mike. I am taking him to Disneyland and Calfornia Adverature (sp) for first time. So I'll gonna spend my wonderful time with my long time best friend and other good friends for 2 weeks without my kid around. :)

So anyway thanks for sharing this wonderful post! :)

Have a great Christmas!

Thanks!!! I have heard few stories about adopted parents did not tell their children that they were adopted. Some children were mad or they were accepting that they were adopted. As for me, it is easy to know that I am adopted because I am mexican and my adopted parents are white. All of my siblings are adopted. (nine children are adopted) My parents were very honest with us about our parents. My dad told me a story that he was my birth mother's doctor. I felt so honored by having him as her doctor.

I know you are scared. Maybe you shouldn't be scared anymore after you tell your son the truth? I m just tryin' to help. :)
 
Thank you...

Guys...

Thanks so much for your replies. It moves me...and I have to admit. I realized that I am mourning for my birth mother and I do sometimes cried for her and wishing that I had meet her. But thankfully, she is in a better place.

Thanks again. Merry Christmas!! :)
 
Bewitched,

Your story moves me and in tears...I'm sorry to hear about your mother's death. I look forward to hear more news about you meeting with your sisters. Dont forget to share photos with us! :D

Wishes me great luck..
 
Neat!

Galaxy Angel,


WOW....I am glad you met your birth mother. IT is really amazing. All of my life I have been hearing alot of stories about reuniting with their birth children/parents. And Seeing a lot of movies about it too, and I actually NEVER thought it will happen to me.

I have eight siblings are all adopted too. Only one of them was asked to be reunite to his mom but he denied. I thought wow....he must be tough and I told myself, if my mother wanted to meet me, I would want to meet her!! I sworn myself that it will never happen to me. And I WAS WRONG! I can't just describe how I feel about being found. It is amazing feeling but at the same time, it was confusing. When I was told that my family wanted to meet me and my first thought was my adopted parents, I never want them to feel that they were going to be replaced! NEVER. I talked to my adopted mom about it and asked her how she felt about it. She said, "GO for it, I am sure they are such nice people!!" I went for it. IT was amazing feeling, isnt it?


By the way, I wish you good luck finding your father. As for me, I have a feeling that I shouldn't look for my birth father. My feeling about me being adopted and meeting my birth family is perfect satisfaction for me! :)
