Adopted Woman Finds Out She Grew Up Watching Her Birth Mother on TV

[@nikkoabernathy3645]

I teared up watching this. This story really hit close to home. I was 16 y/o when I got pregnant...a junior in high school. Some of my immediate family made such a mockery out of me and made my pregnancy a living nightmare. It was one of the worst times of my life. Long story short, I almost went through a similar situation and... I just couldn't go through with it. I remember giving birth to my daughter and...she went way (w/ an adoption agency worker)... I went the other way. I was so broken and depressed. After school... I would slide to the agency to see her, to hold her, to feed her. I would just cry. The worker said to me, " You want her"? I said, " Yes"! Next thing I know, I was walking out with my baby!!! Like the mom in the video... I never had any other children...that situation was so stressful, sad and depressing. I couldn't imagine having a child "out here in the world"... while having others in the home. I wouldn't have seemed fair. I love my one and only child to pieces... she's my pride and joy!!! She's now a successful and intelligent beautiful woman... who's a mom-to-be Jan. 2023. I'm excited about becoming a "GiGi"!!!

[@힐만94]

@Evered Abraham well, she already signed the agreement to pass all her rights for adoption... and it was 60's anyway.. she didn't know how her daughter was raised (you know, some adoptive parents might be so possessive that they even don't tell their children that they were adopted, and afraid the children will look their biological parents once they know they are adopted), and I believe at some point, she also feared the same feeling of rejection, just like her daughter's story..

[@sherryd.3425]

@Evered Abraham I don't understand your criticism. Moms don't really have the right to look for a child after they have signed away their own rights. Financial success or celebrity status are the most shallow and selfish of reasons to disrupt the life of a child. It looks to me that everyone tried to put this baby girl first and foremost at the head of this whole process. In the 1960s, there were very real barriers for girls and women who had children and family, and who continued to aspire to higher vocations for financial or creative reasons. I was a baby then, I can't judge. God bless the strong women who live and speak today, and do not judge.

[@NODE1975]

@Evered Abraham you have no clue about adoption processes back then. In fact, it wasn't until the 90's when people starting to sue for the rights to their adoption records. Even then it still took close to or more than a decade for it to happen.

I’m adopted too. My biological Mother put me up for adoption and changed her mind. She came back to see if she could get me. It was too late. I was gone. My Mother raised me the same way saying that my birth mother loved me, but couldn’t take care of me. I was never mad because I understood. My birth Mother told my birth Father that she had a miscarriage while he was in the military. When I was 24 I meant both of them.. My birth Father couldn’t believe it. He didn’t even know I existed. His sister kept telling him to get a paternity test until she saw pictures of me. I look exactly like him.. His sister was crying on the phone when she spoke to me. She said, “I told him to get a paternity test, but Oh my God you look just like him.” He doesn’t need to have a test. We also have a lot of the same mannerisms. I look like he had me by himself. I really could go on and on, but I’ll stop here. :) S/N - I’m 43 now and I talk to them all the time. I was raised as an only child, but have 3 brothers.

So true. Thats why my feelings about adoptions are mixed. Some times you really don’t know who you are handing your child over too. I know someone who is a foster/adoptive mom.. she has two children right now that were in the process of being adopted by a couple…. They were staying with her for a while like a year or so I believe… then they were supposed to be adopted… well, now they are back after only about 2/3 months of staying with what was supposed to be their new family. Guess why….. ok I’ll tell you… the husband beat the little boy really bad that his body was bruised up. So now they are back to where they started. Some ppl in this world do not deserve to have kids. Which might be the reason why they can’t. I hope that man is locked up or at the very least was ordered by a judge to get a mental evaluation.

I remember my mother suggesting to me when I was a child one day as school recess was approaching "Why don't you spend the summer with your father?" At the time I recall looking at her askance as if to say "Why would I want to do that?" Compared to other children, my response may have seemed strange. My parents at the time were separated. However, I did see my father quite frequently on many weekends. In any case, my mother's suggestion won out and I began to really enjoy summers with my father. ( He was living in NYC and I was living in New Jersey.) Unfortunately, I lost my father when I was eleven. In any case, I cherish the time I had with him and realize I would have no memory of my father's personality or who he was had I NOT spent that time with him. I can remember mourning the loss of my father. Mourning never feels comfortable but I cannot imagine losing a parent and not feeling ANYTHING. It makes me think of the adage : Better to have lost in love than never to have loved at all!!

[@starmessenger]

But that's the way it was back then. It was quite a scandal when a girl had a baby out of wedlock. (Notice I said "girl". There was no scandal for the boys or their families). You either sent your daughter to a home for unwed mothers, or you sent her away to "visit family in California". Several months later she would return, and the secret was kept by all the family as if it were the most shameful thing on earth. Sometimes the baby would be passed off as the mother's child, and raised to believe that their mom was their sister. 5 of my close friends and relatives got pregnant in high school. Of the five, 2 had illegal abortions, 2 went to homes for unwed mothers, and the other kept her child. Two were treated like pariahs at school, and bullied by students and teachers alike. Often, parents disowned their pregnant daughters and turned them out on the streets. Accused rapists were treated better than unmarried pregnant teens.

[@MiracleFound]

Back in the 60's it was such a traumatic process. My husband was adopted in 1966. His birth mother never had any other children and she had a lot of problems with depression after living in the maternity home and giving him up for adoption. They treated the pregnant girls horribly and they had it drilled into them that they could never look for their child. This also impacted the adopted child because they were told that they couldn't look either and records were sealed until about 20 years ago. It was very emotionally traumatic for my husband to try to get information. He really needed to meet his bio mom and hear that he was wanted and loved by her. He got that opportunity and it helped a lot. People think that adoption is all wonderful, but do not understand how much it hurts for many of the adopted children and parents.
