Thank you for all the overwhelming support. It means so much to me. It was emotionally and mentally tough to make this video. I am glad I did. I wanted to share this part of my life with all of you. Thank you again for all the caring comments. ☺️
Amanda Lundberg I can imagine, you didn’t have it tough. thank you for sharing your story with us 💕 I’m so glad you are in a good place now with your partner and kids, the way you tell the story suddenly made sense when you revealed you’re a mum now 😂💕
mrvg style how dare you! She is not victimising herself, she’s reacting to a viral story as anyone with even an ounce of humanity in their hearts would - of course H’s circumstances would hit too close to home, not only has she been through a very similar thing as a child, she’s a mother herself, and there are tons of videos on here of mothers, fathers, adoptees - just about anyone giving their take on this. Dunno what it is with you Americans and your degrees, education is important but it is not everything, and it certainly isn’t wisdom! You could use a taste of the real world by the sound of it. If you knew anything about childhood trauma and abuse in any and all forms, you would know that you never truly get over it. You can only process it, remove self-blame and create healthy foundations and relationships for yourself. You never forget, but you heal from it. “Little did I know, I can’t be loved unless I first love myself”, that is a big step in healing, and she did it, and is now a wonderful loving mother of three. I’ve seen all forms of “homes”, and I can tell you now the best and healthiest are those filled with love.
(I’m sorry Amanda, I just can’t ignore this one)
Hey girl, thank you for sharing your story. That is so so hard. I am so thankful you have a voice and you spoke up to the rest of us. I would love to pray for you, if that is something you are open to.
I want you to know someone loves you, even if it's me from miles away. I really do hope you have money for therapy because that will help soooooo much. If not, please please save for it. I would totally donate too! If you'd message me. Love you girl 🙏🏾 even though I don't know you!
P.S. do you keep in contact with your dad?? It seems like he really loved you! He'd probably want to get updates about you! Or maybe that's just my misunderstanding.
mrvg style
Perhaps it wasn’t your intention, but you did come off as judgmental. Being Korean doesn’t give you insight into her whole being, heart and mind. It only helps you understand one piece of her, (a large piece, sure, but not the whole of her) and fortunately she has many layers, and time to develop even more. I didn’t see her story as someone who is still stuck in a destructive cycle. I saw it as a success story of one who has made sure the dysfunctions ends with her. That takes MASSIVE strength of character. To not only recognize it, but heal and improve from what she was given from both sets of parents?
Enough time has passed that she has four children with someone that she loves and treats her as she has deserved all along. She broke the negative pattern, which is quite monumental.
Sharing where one has been is extremely helpful to others who have had similar experiences. It is a gift of hope she is sharing, as well as the catharsis to release it into the universe.
I don’t for a minute assume life is perfect, as that doesn’t exist. Nor that she couldn’t benefit from therapy, if that was something she felt was needed. But that is a personal choice. She will always carry her past in this life, but it is about choosing to use it for good, or allow it to keep on perpetually destroying. And it sounds like she has done the former. Not to mention, success is different to different people. Formal education is not the end all, be all. Life has a myriad of ways in which to continue learning and growing.
I don’t mean harm or to cause any issue. I just don’t want Amanda to feel inadequate, as if she has nothing to be proud of or celebrate. I admire her journey and her humility in sharing it with strangers. Her heart is her greatest gift, and not all are blessed with such a loving and caring spirit. And all this in spite of not being loved as she ought to have been growing up.
Children internalize things, when the greatest fault here was the inadequacies of the adult who primarily raised her. Who surely has her own demons and story to explain why she was so broken and damaging to an innocent child. Sadly, her mother was not strong enough to rise above. And she is now missing out on the love that her daughter would have showered on her through a relationship, if she only bothered to foster a healthy one.
I wish everyone well on each of your own journeys.
mrvg style you’re right, being Asian is not something I could understand, that is obvious and I know it. I do know though that while you may have seen experiences and circumstances, no matter how much you delve into it, you won’t ever truly understand unless you’ve been through it yourself. You do make a good point here, I’m not going to continue discussing Amanda and analysing her life or psyche like she’s here though. I just think your initial approach was quite harsh, cold and not very empathetic. You sound like an echo of a voice I’d imagine she doesn’t need to hear and won’t help in the slightest.
What a Despicable woman.......... And how can the father even if he was gone sit there and let happen....... you are truly amazing to still be a wonderful hearted human being
Without knowing the rest of the story it is really difficult to make a judgement that this woman is "despicable." I would willing to say only that she does not appear to be completely self-sacrificing and a "saint" because a saint has the ability to withstand much injury and remain loving. I admit things on the surface look bad but before you make the judgement for goodness sake look at the whole story. It is possible she is despicable but it is also possible that she is just a flawed person, under stress, in a difficult situation and all of the bad that she ever did was brought up here and all of the good forgotten.
I had biological children and later I adopted 3 older children from a foreign orphanage and so I have my own experience and I know many people who have adopted older children also. From what I see perhaps about half of them are not on good terms with their older adopted children. That is because older children raised in trauma often have life long challenges that are not easy for even self-sacrificing people to adapt to and often cause some of them to have serious problems relating to many people. It may or may not mean that the adoptive parents are deeply flawed. I know that I am not a saint and I know that I lucked out, I feel so fortunate that I adopted the children that I did. I lived through a couple of years of hell but in the end we bonded and we are family and 2 youngest still live with me as they are in their early twenties. I believe one of my children still has deep trauma that makes it difficult for him to completely adapt to society but curiously enough you can bond to a child with challenging behaviors that sometimes presents you with some positive pro-bonding behaviors than an obedient child that just does not give you any reason to want to bond with them. I had constant lying, tantrums, fighting (among each other), stealing at stores, disobedience,experimenting with fire, profanity, etc. for 1-2 years but by children also wanted to bond. When a child wants to bond you are more likely to bond yourself. Most of the bad behavior just died out after a while.
I have also seen people's reputations being ruined because of their adoptions and it is not fair. While my adoption was new, a friend pulled me aside about problems she was having with her little 3 year old recently adopted child. Even though mine were still stealing, fighting, continuously lying, and trantuming about things as innocent as putting a seat belt on before I would start the car, what she told me scared me. Her newly adopted son was violent toward her other young children, was defecating around her house and smearing it all over, was urinating on the other children's toys, and was playing her and her husband off against each other. My immediate reactions was that she needed to disrupt fast and for the sake of her other children, the 3 year old himself, and the sake of society. It took a psychiatrist and a two way mirror to prove to the husband that so young a child could actually be manipulating him and his wife against each other. For me I could not see this child out of that house soon enough. I had thoughts of him pushing the baby or one of the other children down the stairs. Yet, my friend got hell from just about everyone about being selfish and disloyal etc..
.
What people need to realize is that there are birth families out there that can cause deep trauma, living in an orphanage can be deeply traumatic, and children with trauma can fail to want to attach to adoptive parents or can present with challenging behaviors. As it is relationships between biological children with their biological parents can have their challenges. Often this is because one side is especially unreasonable, yet often it just is what it is and both sides have actually contributed substantially to the problem. To properly access and make judgements you need to know the entire story. Maybe this woman had the misfortune of being adopted by despicable people despite only minor trauma and mostly normal ability to bond with adoptive parents. In that case, it seems reasonable for her own mental health to separate from these people.
He was deployed in the military, he wasn't home to see this treatment.
@@4veritasamdg939 probably not the place for this super long disorganized rant about adoption horror stories and how adoptive parents are good. This woman just shared a personal story about her life and the things that happened to her growing up. Amanda I believe you and feel for your story and I am sorry this person posted this craziness.
@@4veritasamdg939 there are lots of parents who are stressed and overwhelmed but they arent shitty parents. Why did you post a whole book
@@misomar7193 It is very possible that they are shitty parents. My first impulse to take the entire story at face value. In commenting though, I just gave the heads up that in older child adoption there can be a lot of trauma, failure to attach, and very difficult behaviors, that were caused originally by the birth parents and/or the orphanage. I am not saying that this happened but what if the mother adopted a child that had no interest in attaching to her? What if she felt trapped that she had to be like a servant or caretaker to a child until the age of 18 that did not like her or want to attach to her ? What if all the bad things ever said to the child were included in this video? It would not be great but it would become a little more understandable. What if some very good things were left out of the video? Maybe as a little girl she reached out to this woman for affection and was pushed aside. This would be cruel because you shouldn't make a commitment to adopt if you can't nurture a child. I simply state before calling someone "despicable" so easily, given the special circumstances that can be present in older child adoption, reserve judgement until you know the entire story.
I will never understand why someone would have a child just to constantly put them down and abuse them. I’m so sorry you had a horrible childhood because of it. But I’m glad you are now in a better place and have a beautiful family.
This is crazy! My friend just shared this video with me because my name is Amanda Lundberg and I was also adopted out of Seoul. I would love to connect with you to share stories, if you're willing!
Wow, that's such a cool coincidence! I really hope she sees your comment 😊
Holy shitttttt
That's crazy! Wow that would be amazing if you guys meet too.
Adoption is a choice. An adoptive child isn’t an accident or a mistake. They had to seek you out and pursue you specifically. I can’t imagine choosing a child just to hate them and make them miserable... Theres things here I take issue with like not understanding the hair type or recognizing racism that might be things she genuinely didn’t know. But how can you choose a child, hand pick them, and say that you wanted a different one?!
I’m so sorry that your adoptive family treated you like this. I’m glad you’ve found happiness, and I’m glad you’re able to speak out about this, but oh my god how terrible this situation must’ve been... I’ve always wanted to adopt, and I can only say that the idea of treating any child like this makes me sick... I’m glad you got out.
pianobooks42 Adoptive parents don’t choose their kids. I’m adopted and my parents where on a waiting list and got me when their “number” was called.
Debpenguin Really? The process is different for all countries and intercountry/international centers. To my knowledge, all adoptive parents have some level of choice. For some (like US national adoption), they’re matched by an agency and decide if they want to pursue that child or not. For international from china to the US, there are waiting children that you pick from. Or agencies can match you with a waiting child. Some countries only publicly list “unfavorable” children (definition depends on the country).
I’m not sure if it was always like this or if this is recent. If you’re comfortable, I’d be curious to know what country you were adopted from and if you were adopted in-country or internationally. Of course, feel free to ignore if that’s too personal. Thank you for correcting this, and I’ll be trying to find answers myself!
pianobooks42 I think debpeguin is mostly right. Adoptive parents do not really get to choose their kids. I'm adopted as well, and that's not really now it works. Adoptive parents give criteria about what they think is best for their family (age, gender, special needs, race, etc.) and then case workers match kids with families, but it is not like test driving a car where adoptive parents get to see all their options and try each one. Honestly, adoptive parents do not "choose" their kids at all
@@meilindye44 I think I'd prefer that. Just put a description out there of my weird little family and see if there's a kid out there who thinks we're ok. I just want to help and I was so close to giving up until today.
Also I find it weird that children are hand picked during adoption. In my country you don't hand pick children for adoption. The only thing you can specify in your adoption application is issues of sex and age range. An anonymous committee matches you to a child based on various things. You don't go into an orphanage and point out a child like you're picking apples in a store. I find it inhumane.
Gosh, how could a mom every say those things to their child. Sorry you were belittled by her, but you made it through the tough times and grew up to be an amazing person!
Natalie Yang
My mom did the same and she is my biological mother. I don't recall a compliment, but i do all the criticisms.
@@sct4040
It is so heartbreaking to know that a mother can ever say that to her child and you must have been through so much pain. I wish I could give you a hug through the screen. You are your own person and I am proud of you no matter who you are.
S CT Yep, same. I still ‘hear’ her criticism in my head 45 years later.
sometimes parents hurt their children and it's such a taboo topic that nobody discusses it. but i'm glad you shared your story. thank you so much for reminding the rest of us that we're not alone. wishing you and your family the best for the future!
thank you, so happy youre living your dream life, my biological mum puts me down all the time too, i understand you
😥
Just know its her issue and not your truth. Love yourself through it all ..no matter what she says. I was an unwanted child too. I used to think even God didnt love me. I later learned he loves me more than ill ever know and I have learned to love myself through the years. I think allowing myself to cry and feel my feelings really helped. My heart goes out to you. I hope you can find some positive role models, a teacher, counselor, or good friends to help give you some support thru this. Its sad to hear.
I was so upset until you told me about your beautiful family of 5 and I literally couldve cried with relief that you are NOT alone in life and it IS filled with love and acceptance now. Oh my god I'm so happy for you, I don't even know you
You were Disowned but you’ve Learned how to Own Life. There’s a Purpose behind it all, there always will be
ik it was not directed to me but it is just what i needed to hear, so thank you
Mar Mc girl you better receive it too. Own that line like it was made for you too, CAUSE IT WAS !!! Don’t let anyone believe otherwise, you got worth and value in you like you don’t even knoooowww iiittt!!! (not rhetoric just truth)
Josue Medina i love you
Why am I sobbing 💀 some people don’t deserve to be parents, I’m infertile and my husband and I would die for a child meanwhile people have the blessing and treat it like it’s nothing truly heart breaking.
I know dear... it is so unfair. Adoption when you re not very wealthy or connected today is so hard even internationally... normal people can’t do it or run the risk of supporting child trade .. and such people got to raise a child. Just so unfair!
Such a heartbreaking beginning. NO CHILD should EVER have to go through that kind of abuse and pain. Just makes me cry. I’m so sorry your mom treated you so bad. 💔💔💔Moms should love you unconditionally! I’m so glad that you knew better and got out of that situation. I’m so glad you started a family of your own and found out what real love and a real family feels like. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story. 💕💗💕💗💕💗💕
As a mom, I can’t imagine doing this to my child. You’re beautiful and your mom is missing out on so much. You don’t need her approval... you’re loved by so many for just who you are. And you’re more than good enough.
Your mom sounds like a classic narcissistic parent. I'm so sorry you had to endure such an abusive environment
When you started talking about your kids I started crying. You definitely didn’t let you moms influence affect your self worth and how you’d treat your family. God bless you❤️
When toxic people leave your life, you start to bloom. Life just unfolds in the most beautiful way. ❤
People like your parents makes me realize why some people talk about getting a permission and parenting before getting children should be obligatory
definitely
It's clear that the mother had problems from the start, but the dad seemed to be nice... what happened to him? Everyone wants to know how's your relationship with your dad... Are you still in contact with him?
I think in her video about Myka Stauffer she said that her parents wont speak to her so I guess her father disowned her too
In abusive homes, the "nice" parent is still an enabler. They support the narcissist in control, and condone the abuse by refusing to "take sides" and protect the child.
@@saranohmusic57 periodt!
Im so happy that you met the right man and have beautiful children! God Bless you and family. It’s your Mom’s loss!!
Sara Hurwitz Music my father used to be on my side. And started to stay silent to not get in arguments with my narcissistic mother
As a mother I have no idea how you could talk to your child like that!! So happy things turned out well for you 💕
omg why would you adopt a child if you're gonna treat them like that? brought tears to my eyes
Joslyn Campbell I would like to know how the adoption agency allowed it in the first place. True, the woman may have hidden her evilness, but the man in the military moving the family home all the time and being absent does not make a stable home life.
@@tracik1277 literally! yet it's so hard for some stable families to adopt, like you hear it all the time. either it's the money or papers or just being in a gay relationship that they won't allow it
Your mom sounds like a narc. I’m sorry you had to endure her cruelty, cutting her out of your life is probably the healthiest thing you could do. Do you talk to your dad?
Here’s a response video about my dad - th-cam.com/video/Hf9zkL13oh4/w-d-xo.html
I just want to come and give you a big hug sweetie. Your story moved me to tears. I am so sorry that your mother could not say anything good about you. You have grown into a beautiful, loving, and wonderful person! Hugs to you and your family sweetie. Thank you for sharing.
I don’t understand getting a kid, biological or adopted, and going out of your way to make them feel miserable. Its despicable.
The lady sounds like a narcissist. Clearly she had personal problems within. I’m so sorry she put you down. You are valuable, precious and worthy to be treated with dignity and respect. I hope you are finding healing and I’m so happy you have a family of your own . ❤️
I just commented to someone above. Your comment confirms my suspicions. And jealous of her
I can definitely relate to this story. No real mom or dad and moving from place to place with this void and this want for some validation, some love and these broken hopes. I've been belittled these past 4 years with this narcissist and an enabler that "claims" they are protecting me. It's a big mess and it hurts every day. When I leave and it's all over and I heal I want to adopt so no child has to go through what you went through, what I went through. So many kids with no homes and no love. It doesn't make sense to have a biological child.
You are so strong to make this video, to share this experience with the world. I’m so sorry for what you went through. No child ever deserves that. May you and your children be abundantly blessed. Congratulations on breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect. I was abused by my mother similarly, bullied at school, and I totally relate to the idea of doing whatever I could to stay away from home. I have a husband I love, a career I pursued in defiance of my mother, and a life I absolutely treasure. We are both fortunate in how we have escaped our pasts to create blessed lives! Thank you for sharing your story!
your video is so heartbreaking but so heartwarming at the end 💜🥺 this is absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing this
You're so strong for being able to talk about this. It must be so hard to share this with thousands of people. thank you
This was so touching! Thank you for sharing your story, at times like this is makes us feel greatful for what we have. I am just so sorry you had to go through all this.
What I am disappointed about is the fact that the adoption agency let you down! How did they house an beautful innocent girl with a family that couldn't give her a simple thing such as love and never checked she was okay. What a cruel world :(
You deserve all the happiness in the world! They were only holding you back from your happiness and fulfilling what you wanted in life. It really saddens me how people can cut off their children, as if they were just strangers that entered their life for a period of time and moved on. Not everyone deserves to be parents; having a child to love and care for is a blessing.
What a beautiful ending. 💚 Your children are so lucky to have such a loving mother. I’m so glad you found happiness after such heartache.
I haven’t watched this yet but thanks for sharing! I used to love watching the Draw My Life videos. I look forward to learning more about you!
OMG just watch it. Why would you take the time to comment and not watch it 🤣
Sending love your way. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life. You are an inspiration to never give up and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so glad you are happy now. ❤️
You are so kind and full of love! You are so strong for staying kind even though others aren’t. 💕💕💕
I am so sorry you went through this. Being adopted, going through that grief and getting attached is hard enough when you feel loved. No child deserves being treated like this. You sound like an amazing women and i am so happy for you that you found your happiness.
Thank you for your bravery, Amanda. I am so sorry for the pain and trauma you have experienced. I hope you know that you are more than enough, and always were at every age. You are a beautiful person, with a forgiving and compassionate heart. You are resilient. Thank you for being a shining light of hope. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. It was so beautifully done. From one adoptee to another...sending u a huge hug!! 🙏🏼❤️
I'm glad you have a happy family now.
You know, Amanda, there are a lot of broken people in the world. They do the best they can with what they have to work with which clearly isn't much. So that relationship says more about your mom's damage than it says about you. You are perfect as you stand, dear, so love yourself, release the pain with your mom. It takes a long time to realize we aren't responsible for the choices and feelings of others.
I'm so glad things worked out for you. Blessings to you and your family.
Im so happy that you’re living a very happy life❤️ You are a strong woman and an inspiration!
My heart is so full right now. Your story is so touching. Thank you so much for sharing a snippet of your life with us. 🤗❤
Thank you for sharing your story! I’m adopted too ❤️ your story made me emotional 😥 I’m very lucky I didn’t have an experience like this.
Alex! Thank you for leaving a comment. I watched both your videos that you posted about Myka Stauffer. You did an incredible job. Your two moms seems so full of love! Thank you for your kind words! ☺️
I'm glad you found love and support. Sometimes we have to make the family we need/deserve because the one we have growing up isn't healthy.
I'm an ABC and have been estranged from my Mother for 3 years. I take great joy from my husband and kids as well. Thanks for sharing your story. It's nice to know I'm not alone. Peace and love to you.
ty for sharing this! your channel is so amazing and its clear you put so much effort and time into your videos. :) you're awesome ty
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Just think, your 4 amazing little ones wouldn't be around without you standing up to your mom and going on your own path. I can't imagine how much love you must show them. I'm in school to hopefully work in the adoption/foster industry and hope to help make a change someday. Sending love to you and your beautiful family!
Welp I cried I’m glad you have a wonderful family now
Thank you so much for sharing your life journey with us! I'm in tears right now, with all you have been through I'm so happy you live the life you so deserve ❤️ you are beautiful and inspirational and I wish you only the very best for your sweet family. Is it okay to ask if you're still in contact with your father? Lots of prayers and blessings to you 🙏❤️
❤❤❤❤You deserve happiness and love. I'm happy to hear that you have an amazing loving family
Thank you for sharing this! It makes me hopeful about what is possible. I am so happy you have a family now that loves you the way you always deserved to be loved ❤️ I just got recommended your video to Huxley and I’m glad I did. Sending you all the love 🤗
That adoptive mother is the living proof that some people should just not be allowed to adopt... But out of all this, I glad that this opened up opportunities for your future nonetheless!
You are brave. You are strong. You are beautiful both inside and out.
You are loved. You are worthy of love. You are wanted.
You are now an inspiration.
Don't ever doubt it.
Go back to your inner child and give her a hug and tell her it wasn't her fault and that she is loveable and worthy of all good blessings in life.
Thank you for sharing your story, Amanda. It's really eye-opening on how adoption stories might not always be all sunshine and happiness.
This was beautifully done. I can tell u put your whole heart in it, and others now feel less alone. God will continue to give u beauty, and your mom loves you.
You are so strong and amazing. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry you went through so much pain. You are amazing and it is definitely your parents loss because they not only lost you, but their 4 beautiful grandchildren as well.
These were words I never knew I needed, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m glad you have a wonderful family of you own now. I love what you said about some people being in your history, but not your destiny.
I am so glad that you have this wonderfull family now
So happy for you and your sweet family! Amazing! God bless you all!🙏🧡✌️
Such success from ashes,. Wishing you and your husband happiness, good health & prosperity.
My parents weren't perfect but this makes me grateful that I at least have their unconditional support, even if I didn't have as much of it as a kid
i have watched youtube for over 10 years, and after watching your video, for the first time, i finally clicked the thumbs up button.
thanks for sharing. i am glad you rose above it and fill your life with non-toxic people.
Oh my goodness you poor thing ! I am so glad you finally found happiness 😊 and love 🥰
Thank you for sharing your story, sending you lots of lov❤
So sorry for your experience💕parents should be loving and supportive no matter how they conceive you ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that you find nothing but love and peace in your future endeavors.
I am so happy you found happiness 💖. Being adopted myself I know the struggle. People are apart of your history but not apart of your destiny I love that. 🥰
I just found this channel and had to subscribe. ❤, no child should have to go throught this, but I guess there has to be bad to get to the good. I'm glad you got where you wanted to ❤
Ooof this hurts so much. You are a loving and caring person and your mom doesn’t deserve you
I am so glad that you are the mother that your mother could NEVER be ! You are loved and beautiful ! I hate that u went through that
I am so happy you have now the life you deserve with your children and your partner! I wish you all the luck in the world!!
I always wondered why military families move if they don’t stay with and even see their military spouses anyway. Can someone explain please?
Sadistic ''mother'', she actually doesn't deserve that title. You deserve ALL the happiness in the world. I am SO happy you have your OWN family now . MUCH LOVE TO YOU, BEAUTIFUL, I just wanted to wrap you up and be your mother as you spoke. Remember, there are mean people and kind people in this world, and as you've so bravely done, you've chosen to go and be with the kind people and let go of the mean ones. Blessings to you and your family - Love from Roshelle in Australia xx
Wow this story was amazing. You are incredible. Thank you for sharing ❤️
The viciousness of parents never ceases to amaze me. I'm sorry you went through this with you mum. I can't imagine ever being this horrible to a person.
My whole birth family did this to me so I understand. I’m sorry you had to feel that way too.
Yes, there was something the matter with that 'mother' from the start. She has major problems. I wish they would screen these prospective adoptive parents better because this never should have happened. A psychologist evaluation should be done of parents before any adoption, I feel. Amanda -- you are a beautiful beautiful soul -- and are SO beautiful. I think that woman who was supposed to be a 'mother', was jealous of you. And jealous of how your father adored you. I wasn't adopted, but I had a biological mother who was like that with me -- and very jealous of how my father adored me and took it out on my every change she got. I follow a spiritual path from the east and believe you have a Divine mother and father who are your real mother and father, and they love you unconditionally. I'm sorry you had to grow up with those people, but you triumphed because you became the warmest sweetest person in spite of it all. You have a strength they could only dream about. I think they both became jealous of you. I've seen it many times.
Many countries do require an evaluation from a psychiatrist, not to mention social workers. Perhaps the evaluation for adopting older children should be especially stringent because many have behavioral and attachment issues due to early trauma. I think foster care in the United States prepares prospective parents for this but in international adoption there are incentives to down play the challenges.
Thank you for sharing. I'm glad u were able to move on n find ur happiness
Thank you for sharing and so sorry about your adoptive mom being abusivel. So glad you have a wonderful loving family that gives you all the love that you do deserve and should have recieved.. Wishing you the best.
I loved your story, mostly the end. You are blessed. The greater the pain, the greater the gain. It is a shame your Mom could not be enjoying those beautiful grandkids, but that was her choice. I wish you the best. It is sad your Mom had placed "expectations" on you, when she should have made them for herself.
I love the video! I'm only 22 y/o but I'm doing much better for myself after several hardships in my teenage years. Glad you made this!
Recently got disowned, im 23. They made sure i’m not ready for the real world but luckily i got my bf otherwise id be homeless and uneducated. I was brought up to fail.
I am sorry you had to experience this. Remember, you will gain your strength and will succeed. Stay strong
I am very happy you found your family in the end.
Thank you for posting such a personal story
Really you are amazing and I'm so happy to see how far you have come. Your storytelling skills are visually engaging and your voice is so soothing...✌💚
As an adoptive mother, at only a minute and 25 seconds in I was already horrified and upset. How could a grown adult say such things to their child, let alone any child?! Is there no semblance of rationale in her brain about how this would affect someone?! Clearly there were mental issues regarding her own worth prior to adopting you. No man should ever let their daughter be treated that way by anyone. I’m so sorry you went through this! You are indeed special, and so very valuable. And I’m so glad you are living your life separate from that emotional hell. I saw your video on the couple who adopted from China, and it broke my heart. You said exactly what I felt. ❤️
This made me cry😔💔
Lots of love dear ❤️
I am so very sorry that you were treated so horribly. Your mother obviously is a deeply disturbed person. Not only has she turned her back on you she has turned her back on her grandchildren. I am so very glad you have met such a wonderful man - I can think of no one more deserving of such happiness as you!!!
Your mysterious life journey is still ongoing and unfolding. I hope one day you will reconcile with your past into becoming a beautiful mother overflowing with grace and love.
God certainly has blessed you as now you are a wonderful mom! Thank you ❤️
So sorry. It sounds like your adoptive mother had a lot of problems and decided to take them out on you.
Did your father ever feel the same as your mother? Did she convince your father to disown you as well? Or do you still talk to him?
i get your story..so glad you are happy now
this is similar to how my parents treated me :( im so sorry. i understand your pain.
Oh Wow!!! that was quite a tough journey!! A lot of painful memories. I love your conclusion at the end:) I don't think I would want my children around your mom because she could cause damage with them too by not treating them right.
I’m glad you have a beautiful family. 💖😢
Good for you!!!! That adopted woman apparently was jealous of you. Stay strong!!! Do you have contact with your dad? Or did he ever reach out to you?
Yes and a possible narcissist
