About my past

April 27, 2007

I just wanted to share a little bit about myself and things that have happened in my life. I was adopted as a infant to a wonderful family that loved me very much. I had a older brother that was 20 years older than me. My parents got divorced when I was 8 years old. I wasn't sad about it because some people just don't need to be together. Life growing up was good until my mother died of cancer when I was 12. That is a very young age to lose your mother and I took it very hard. I was an adult before I recovered from the loss of my mother. My dad raised the the best he could I finished school and went to college off and on over the years. My dad got sick and died in 1998, a couple months later I got married. I guess it's safe to say that people take for granted the ability to have children until some of us realize that our journey's won't be so simple. It truely hurts my heart when I hear on the news about a baby being found dead in a trash can because all they had to do was go to the nearest hospital and leave the baby no questions asked. But that's another issue for another day. I searche for my birth family last year and I found them. I have sisters and brothers and both of my parents are alive. I've met just about everyone and by the end of the summer I will have seen everyone. I thank God everyday that he blessed me with such a gift of finding my birth family. I'll talk more later!
