Hi ladies. My name is Dana and I am a birth mother that has gone through 2 adoptions. That was 13 years ago and 16 years ago. Birthdays and holidays are especially rough and I have never had anyone that I could talk to about it that would understand. I'm glad to have found this group and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Thank you. Both of their birthdays are hard, but my daughter's is the hardest. She was born on Christmas Day. So I struggle every year with this. I know it was the right decision, but that doesn't make it any easier.
Quoting vampporcupine:
Hi Dana, I'm glad you found us. It is so important to know you are not alone. I lost my first daughter to adoption 23 years ago. The birthdays, holidays and now anniversaries are always so hard. I found this group two years ago and it has been amazing. The support and love from my dear sisters here has literally saved me.
Oh - I'm Susie, reunited for three years with my 32 year old son.
Hi Dana and welcome!
My daughter was adopted almost 16 years ago and I recently came in contact with her last year. It's been a rough, bittersweet year but I find the comfort I need here, although I read more than I post, finding that my story isn't an oddity and that I do share a lot in common with the other moms whenever I doubt myself. I know you will, too. Unknowingly, you have just made a few hundred friends, and all know what is in your heart. I hope to be one of those whose shoulder you can always lean on when you need to.
Much love to you,
Fab
