Yes I do relate to this poem.....
I was adopted from birth. My mother and father left me in the hospital. I have been told it is because I was born with hip deformity. The mum and dad I'm with now helped me. They got me the surgery I needed and now I am like any other 15 year old. I really wish I could see them but I can't. I'm not even aloud to write or phone which I suppose is a good thing. But I am aloud to meet them when I'm 18 so only 3 years left. It will be nice to meet them to ask all the questions and see what they look like. I can go live with them but I would rather stay were I am. I love my new mum and dad and I would never leave them even to go to the ones that gave me up..... xxxx

Wow! That's how I feel everyday and now I'm 25 years with my own family.

My adopted parents abandoned me when I was 17 years old and now I'm 25 years. I have my adopted mom and adopted siblings back in my life and my adopted dad moved on with his life.

Now I'm deciding whether or not I want them in my life again. I have my own family and that's what keeps me strong even though it still hurts.

This poem has touched me I was adopted 1976. I am 37 years old now trying to find my birth mother, my father has passed away. I always think about why I was adopted what was the reason. they couldn't have loved me. maybe they didn't want to have children I really don't know what the answers are. This poem is very touching to me.

I can totally relate to this poem. on a daily basis I ask myself the same questions. its sometimes hard for me to talk about the fact that my mom didn't love me enough to try to take care of me. I feel like I will never be good enough for anybody to care for me without eventually hurting me.
