[@KathyBath]

I met my husband when I was 9 and he 11 in 1966. I was the cooks daughter and he was the boss's son. I even moved overseas with my mother for two years when I was 11 and we wrote to each other. Everyone thought it was innocent until we got to about 15 and 17 and they realised we were so attached to each other. All kinds of hurdles were thrown at us and requirements. We stuck with it and got married at 19 and 21 and have been together ever since and had 4 kids and now 6 grandchildren. We are about to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary.

[@karolynbenjamin]

@@simpgodd4646 do you know the date of your adoption and the state where your adoption took place? If you have this information you can contact the Department of Children and Families in that state. That was where I started and since I was 17y/o I included a letter from my adoptive mother giving me permission to receive the information. The state will send you general ( not identifying) information but it could include some health information that could be helpful. If you are fortunate enough to know your birth parents names- can be found out from foster parents or sometimes adoption agency. It all depends on if your adoption was sealed. I hope this is helpful to give you a starting place. Also you could do a DNA test ( Ancestry or 23 and me, I would recommend Ancestry). Best of luck to you.

[@darrenheadrick3669]

Playing devils advocate here. At the time they were separated maybe it was meant to be. At such a young age and to have a baby on top of that. They may not have been able to deal with the pressure. As we get older we are much more capable of dealing with life's adversities. I guess what I'm trying say is maybe this is the way life wanted for each if them. In the end it worked out quite well I think.

There is a book that I read as a teen titled "somebody's baby" that could have been written about this story!! Here is a piece of the synopsis: "by the end of Jenny's senior year in high school, she was pregnant. When they made a plan to run away, Jenny waited at the spot where Will was to pick her up, but he never showed. What follows is the story of true love that spans three decades -- between man and woman, parent and child. Jenny is forced to give up her baby for adoption, and when that child, Claudia, becomes a parent herself, she begins a search for her biological parents at the risk of destroying the love of the adoptive parents who have raised her. Claudia finds more than she imagined, as she uncovers years of lies and betrayal, sacrifice and silence, and the extraordinary love of Will and Jenny, whose faith and passion survive it all." written by Elaine Kagan.

Jesus loves you so much and I need to tell you that He offers you His Righteousness as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedience but His it says, “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Gods wrath and Judgment went on Jesus Because He was carrying our sins so God treated Him like the worst sinner now God will Justly treat you like you have never sinned after you believe upon Him so when the blood of Jesus is over you God cannot treat you like a sinner! He never wants to but now He can Justly treat you like you never sinned Jesus was our sacrifice for our sins! Tell God you admit your a sinner and ask Him to wash you with His blood and receive His Gift of righteousness. Come out of darkness and into light! it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin -because He loves us.
