Were you adopted & are you happy that you were? Would you adopt yourself?

Actually yes i do know it was the best thing. My mother was an immigrant my father a drug user and seller not talking bout small time i mean big time & to this day he is still on the run for the things he has done i will not go all into it but the last time i spoke to him was 5 years ago & i want nothing more to do with him. He was abusive mentally and physically to my mother also my mother did not know how to take care of me & my sisters she would always leave us alone in the apartments with my 8 year old sister having to take care of us which no child should ever have to do. My mother was a partier and was always with men & chose them over us. We had to fend for ourselves a 8 year old a 4 year old and a 3 year old. We literally had to beg for food from neighbors & dig out of trash cans. I believe God was with us because I'm surprised we made it & were never abducted or anything like that.

I won't go into more detail because i would prefer not to. But we were found by a police officer walking on the side of the highway with only old full diapers on and dirty clothes & a bottle of spoilt milk was the only thing we had to drink.It happened for a reason & a year later we were adopted by a wonderful family.
