Re: My Mom Won't Tell Me About My Adoption
I am very sorry to hear of your hardship. I am not adopted but my best friend was. We came across this post together online and she said she would of preferred her parents telling her at an early age. As early as 5 she said. She too adopted and her daughter just turned 6. As far back as I could remember, Sally had all kinds of books about adoption and she always told Kaylee God gave her a different mommy to bring her into the world and gave her a new mommy to raise and love her forever. Kaylee will tell anyone, my mommy loves me but she didnt have me in her tummy. Shes not afraid! Start early. It's very difficult as a teen. Lesley

Oh you sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Please know that your mom loves you very much. Don't be upset with her, she just doesn't want to lose you. It broke my heart reading about dilemma. I plan on letting my kids know from the time they come to me, just in little conversation that they didn't come out of mommy's belly but they are mommy's baby. And when they're older slowly talk to them. This way its not a surprise. I'm starting my adoption next week with http://www.myadoptionforms.com/booklet.html. I am absolutely excited. What your mom did was a wonderful thing by loving you for these 15 years, just sit and talk to her. She just needs reassurance. Jenn

Re: My Mom Won't Tell Me About My Adoption
I was 8 when I was adopted and guess I just always knew because my adopted mom always sat me down and told me she loved me. We spoke openly about it all the time which I think makes it easier eventually. I too believe you are old enough to know. But don't push your mom, she loves you and has been your mom from as far back as you can remember. Talk to her, let her know you love her and appreciate her and not leaving her, but would like to know about your beginnings. Give her time. This is just as hard for her as it is for you, okay?
