As I shared with you back in January about finding out who my birth mom was, knowing that she's in Lexington, Tomorrow, I'll celebrate my 19th Year of being adopted officially!


It's hard to believe that I've been adopted for 19 years. It's even harder this year because finding out about the person who gave birth to you, then gave you up can have such a huge impact. It can have an impact by seeing who that person is now.
I wouldn't give up the life I have now for what I had before. I just wouldn't. It's scary to think that people have kids and then want nothing to do with them. Kids are a big part of life. My life as a baby meant nothing to the person who gave birth to me, but it means everything to the people who call me their baby now.


Being adopted isn't a bad thing. Matter fact, I've met many wonderful people through being adopted. I've had many open opportunities to just be me through adoption. Adoption hasn't changed anything, it's just created a whole lot of new beginnings for me.



If you ask me the question "how do you feel about being adopted" now, I'd say I love it. God created adoption because he knew the parents who couldn't have their own kids, would be even better parents to someone else's. But that would also make the parents I have now my official parents. It would make them the ones who see me as their own. Who teach me about life, who see me fail daily, but love me no matter what.
