Adoption

My whole life I've only ever thought about adoption through my eyes, the adoptee. Yet tonight I thought for the first time about what it must be like to give your child; the child you carried and loved for nine months, felt move within your womb, the child you birthed through physical pain and incredible strength then gave up for a better life. Everyday I think about my birth parents. So I can only imagine what it would be like to know someone else is raising your baby. Do you wonder if I'm happy? Do you wonder what I look like? Do you wonder if you cross my mind? My whole life I've wondered about these people who gave me a chance at a better life. I've spent hours and hours searching for you. I go back to the city where I was born, I scan the street for a face that I might recognize as familiar to my own. I search not because I'm unhappy, or don't love my adopted parents. I search because these people gave me life, they are my biological family and because no matter what there will always be a bond between us. You gave me life... Thank You.
