I found my biologic mothers side of the family last year. I just found my biological fathers side of the family recently.
With every new relitve that I meat a sadness grows inside of me.
I still can't locate my birth mother. She was the only person that I ever thought about growing up. So much so that it never dawned on me that I had an entire bilogical family.
I know I 'm very fortunate to even know some of my bilogical relatives. Yet, the sadness within me continues to grow.
How did you find them.
Did it cost
Please share how you found them. Thanks
Searching now. This video speaks of today's experience I did not expect: anxiety and sadness. This is tough but I need to know.
I was adopted in 2010 right after I was born from a 19 year old
Bruh exactly same here
I am adopted
😢
I'm 48 years old and just found out I was adopted. My adoptive parents are both deceased & I'm coming to terms that many of my questions will never be answered. Apparently my Aunt & Uncle knew but were told never to tell me. When my parents passed they all assumed I would have been told by now. Neither f my Aunt or Uncle know where I came from. I'm beginning my search & uncertain what I may find.
So I sooo understand you I am also a late discovery adoptee!! I hope you find more answers
How do you start
Did it cost
What did you find out?
This just happened to me last month
I know those genetics tests with saliva are pretty good and finding a member or two of your siblings. You could try it...
Wish you many blessings to come.
I was adopted over 28 years ago from India. There are no records of my birth parents. I hated it when people used to tell me I'm not looking hard enough. In middle school I decided to just tell people that they were dead. I wish I knew them or just know something about them. So no mater how hard you try to find them if there no records your still screwed.
Bluespilledpaint how you doing in 2020 have you found them
Yea I can't find mine
Yeah :/
I only know around where I was found. But it’s on the other side of the world and I can’t speak the language. I wouldn’t even know how to talk to them if I met them.
There is saliva test you can buy online and if anyone of your siblings also did the test, I surely would try.
Also if you come from India, it may not be known in villages there. I would do this: contact the media, let your story be known and pray because God knows where they are.
I hope you find them
This helped me
Can you help me How
Adoption gang
Never looked before because it would upset my mother, it would be like saying she's not good enough. However I need to find out for myself, I'm going thru life lost without knowing how it started or the ending to my world's biggest cliff hanger. It's as annoying and unsatisfying as the last episode of The Sopranos x 1,000.
I feel that
I never wanted to for same reason, but I lost my mother now 2 years ago and I would like to know now.
I feel ya .. I found my mother while doing stuff I'm not proud of ... it was weird but when I told my adoptive parents I had it just went all wrong ... I have somewhat of some hate towards my adoptive parents... for lying..
I think that the heart has enough love for your bio mother and your parents.
Your parents who raised you are your parents and no one can ever take their place, you can tell them it is a matter of identity and to know more about where you come from.
Pray about their heart and their hurt and tell them. I am sure they understand.
Of course it will bring feelings but if they knew you were waiting because of them they would not want that either
i was adopted bcz my mom was 19 when she had me
Please help my mother find her parents.. they are named on her birth certificate
I was adopted and I never met my brother my wife was born my name is Jacob Michael I was born in Spartanburg South Carolina I was born 1979
Lisa Joyner isn't black but she could be half Asian or half Hispanic. She definitely doesn't look pure white.
A hematologist can identify ethnicities through a testing of your blood cells. in my case i was correctly identified as being of white European origin. It could similarly work for Lisa as well.
She looks half Asian/white
i am triying to find my brith parents
i came here for tip on HOW TO FIND them, not to "check my emotions". utter bullshit
That is a really good idea because I am adopted and the reason I want to know more about it because I have a learning disability and I don’t know immigrant grow out of bed or stay like this so that’s why I’m in trying to find out my birth parents because they may know something that I don’t

Have you tried the saliva test online, you can purchase them online and send it back. They will tell you some siblings if any of them are on their data base.
she is obviously mixed..I'm just curious ..what is her mix? hmm.
She most likely is mixed, but she very closely resembles a lady of Anglophile heritage that i almost married. I think she is HOT in a very wholesome way. She is still the type of lady i (in another lifetime) would marry in a heartbeat!

Came for tips not for emotions omg waste of time
This is so sad that people have to dig their own research when the government could easily help so sad . Remind me again why we all stay?

This did not help me at all. Stop being a know it all. You married a millionaire, so you have a lot of entitlements. Get over yourself. You’re not an expert.
