It is still awkward sometimes at family events because some distant relatives and friends did not know about me.Mary @ Real Girl's Realmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735800086985445673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646864088186261842.post-15751263249339551122016-03-10T03:19:50.941-05:002016-03-10T03:19:50.941-05:00Thank you for sharing your story Mary.

My Dad was adopted when he was born, and only found out the name of his birth mother 11 years ago (aged 49)...Now he's almost 60...we are on the search to find out who his biological father is. It will be nice to know who it is.

I did not want to go into all that detail since that part is not really my story. Adoption is wonderful option, although I think these days it is so much harder to get approved as I know from a couple of my friend's experiences. I am glad you are open to that because I have known people who were not. I am glad you enjoyed my story!Mary @ Real Girl's Realmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735800086985445673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646864088186261842.post-46216330709700714512015-12-17T15:48:36.889-05:002015-12-17T15:48:36.889-05:00That is kind of the coolest thing ever that they c...That is kind of the coolest thing ever that they contacted you and it all went so well! I guess I would want to know why I was put up for adoption if it were me, but I guess it's usually the same answer..right? I've thought about adopting myself over the past couple of years just because I feel like we might end up waiting too long to have kids and want to be open for that option.
