I was adopted by my paternal grandmother and her second husband, my biological father's step-father. |

yes, I was adopted. I've never met my biological parents. I'd like to find out at least their medical histories. I might be interested in meeting them, but I'd want to find out a lot about them before revealing myself to them. Not fair, I know, but that's the way it is. |

No, I'm not, and my biological parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. (They were married a LONG time before I was born.  ) |

I sometimes think so. My birth certificate was "destroyed in a fire", supposedly. And I hardly look like my parents, or rather I look like them in a way that perfect strangers look like them. I can't describe it. Although I am probably their blood child. Oh well. |

No, but my mom gave my only brother up for adoption.
Guess she didn't want a boy. lol (just kidding)

Not unless my parents are lying to me. |

Not that I'm aware of. When I was little I used to hope that I was, but the resemblance between me and both of my parents is scary - but perhaps that's just self-fulfilling prophecy. Who knows? |

I am not adopted, and I know both of my biological parents. They raised me. My dad died in 1989. |

No, not as far as I'm aware. |

You know what? I realized a couple of years ago that there are NO pictures of my mom when she was pregnant with me. And my father was REALLY BIG into photography. He took pictures of everything and everyone.
So I tell my mom, "I know I was adopted, admit it. Why are there no pictures of you pregnant with me? I'll tell you why: I was adopted, right?"
She CLAIMS that she insisted no photos be taken of her when she was pregnant, I'm not buying it. |

No, and I have met both of my biological parents...on quite a few occasions!  |

The advanced stats on this are pretty interesting. At this point 84% of respondents weren't adopted, but only 28% have met their biological parents!  |

I'll check them out. I knew my biological parents as I lived with them until the divorce when I was 4 years old. I also have two half-sisters from my biological mother's side of the marriage that were teenagers at the time of the divorce. They went to live with other family members (my biological mother abandoned the marriage). |

techinaclly No, but I was raised by my step father and my mother. I've only actually seen my real father once since I was an infant/ |

Some people are quite adamant about not having their picture taken. I've sometimes tried to take a nice picture of mandy only to have her say something along the lines of "Stop pointing that camera at me or I'll break both your arms and shove that camera right up your nose." Needless to say, we don't have many pictures of her. |
| mandy | | (reply to SueBee) posted 24-Feb-2002 9:25pm |
We have more now |
| SueBee | | (reply to mandy) posted 24-Feb-2002 11:42pm |

I am not but my father is. He has met his natural brother but found out he was in the IRA.(My dad's natural family live in Ireland, dad was adopted in Scotland) Oops! |

Your conversation made it look like that's what could have happened. One time my aunt was looking at a polaroid, trying to figure out how to get the film out. She was looking at it at a weird angle, and snapped a photo. She left it on the dresser and left the room without looking at it. I looked at it and laughed my head off. It was the underside of her nose. |

Which email address ASB? Email me with the addy and I'll send you a surprise! |

| SueBee | | (reply to LindaH) posted 26-Feb-2002 10:42pm |
LOL You should have framed it and given it to her as a gift. |

I don't know, but I'll have lots of fun imagining... |

No, I'm not adopted. I had wonderful parents, I was blessed. My husband found his half brother, when he was 70 years old, the brother 74. What a waste of time. Many years ago, I told my husband to look for his brother, but he said no, too many complications. The boy was raised by his father. My mother-in-law lost custody as she was young. My husband often said he missed having a brother. He visited his brother almost two years ago, and talked to him once on the phone. I feel so sorry for his half brother. He never knew his mother. He told my husband on the phone, "there was always a hole in my heart, not knowing my mother." My husband had to tell him, his mother died 3 years before the call. The man was saddened at the news. His father remarried after he was 46 years old. He never had a mother figure in his life. How sad! What a waste of time!!! My mother-in-law was a bitter woman, over not having her first born in her life. She talked about my husband's half brother several times over the years. The last time she saw the boy was when he was 3 years old. It makes me sick everytime I think about it. |

Well I'm still contending I was adopted! |
| UnListed638 | | posted 19-Mar-2002 9:05pm |
I WISH I were adopted...my family is weird. We have some of the weirdest names I have ever heard. (Except for some of the names that I would NEVER think of that black people use. I hope I don't offend anyone by this. I think those names are SO creative!!!) We have Trillium, Braedyn, Kanisha, and Mattias. I got lucky...I got stuck with Amanda. (To pronounce those names, it's Trill-ee-um, Bray-din, Ka-nee-sha, and Mat-ee-ay. Weird huh??) Oh, and to top it all off, my last name is Zanzitus.... I only WISH I were adopted!!  |

My biological father visited me once when I was 1 years old. I don't remember it. I have no desire to find and meet him. |
