hey jd! very nice thread...and i would like to reply....
my story is not about a traditional adoption...but it is an adoption none the less...as some know i lost my biological father at the age of 5 it was very violent and very traumatic leaving me with a void that i still feel to this day...so with 3 children ages 5 and under my mother remarried a man over 10 years her senior...he adopted all three of us and as a couple they had another baby (my deaf sis)....we were raised in a lovely small town and my family was very respected..this marriage lasted 7 years...my mother divorced and remarried again...i left home at 19...and left the state....i am looking forward to reading others stories
