I've read & re-read these posts on adoption, both happy stories & sad stories. Some more sad than others. I have a question to ponder from all sides.

Had abortion been available in 1952, I honestly don't know if my mother would've aborted me & my siblings or not. Her beliefs suggests that she wouldn't have.

Do you feel that your given adoption story, whether such harsh treatment or whatever the situation, you are better off with the life you had or do you ever feel like you should have been aborted if your birth mother had the option or opportunity?

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't have died, but I realize I lived for some reason unbeknownst to me.

I believe I was wanted, ONLY to nail down my father, honestly.

My Mom had 2 boys before she married him, and back then, a woman was dogged real bad for having no father or husband with children. Even though she was married to my brothers father.

It was believed my Mom was divorced and then married my Dad, but my Sister (following my 2 older brothers) looks awful Irish, which was what their Father was.

I think after she was divorced, she was still playing around with their father and got pregnant, and told my Dad she was his child. He accepted her without question.

My father was a good provider. Worked on the Rail Road, which in the U.S. is one of the Top fields when it comes to money and benefits. So, to keep my Dad, she just kept having kids until I came, and (SHE CLAIMS) her utaris literally fell out and she had to have surgery. Don't know how true that is.

I don't think abortion was an option, even if it was legal. We were a commodidty.

I don't wish she had a miscarriage now. I used to. I try to turn negitives into possitives wherever I can.

We are all on this planet for a reason

for our own enlightenment and also for the enlightenment of others

every stone thrown in the pond ripples out and effects the whole pond

we to are put upon this earth and effect every one around us, and those we meet for a moment or a lifetime,

so we can sow good or bad seed out there,

remember there are people out there who are blind, cannot talk, have no or missing limbs, starving, mental patiants, deformed, sick,

so if you have health in any form, we have reason to be joyfull

there is always someone worse than you and always someone better of,

we are not to make this world our final destination, were just passing through, so make a difference in someones life while your here,

my past was pure hell, but i keep going, I look forward to a better place,

Love and light Mike

I Believe GOD wanted you all here, otherwise you wouldn't be!

Anything you maybe missing in your lives, just as I did, you may find in him.

I never had a real mother or father, one day I went to a penticostal church of a young minister, he was crying in prayer and he said Dad I love you so much, well that hit me, he said at the end that Abba Father means "my Daddy"

I left the church and said to God "I love you Dad" and God replied in a strong but gentle voice "I love you too Mike" then I said "I realy love you My Dad, and God replied "You cant out-love me Mike"

and that was the most beautifull rebuke I ever had, and from that time on He as always been my Dad (the living God)

Any one can father or give birth to a child. Once that happens it is out of their hands it becomes the life of the child.

Sure, the child may suffer at the hands of either a birth or adoptive family. But in the end this is their only life.

Depending on their level of awareness their life is wide open to possibility if they can only get past the abuse with their eyes wide open.

This is my life and I take responsibility for it now.

Yes my childhood was hard but that is over now.

I for one am very glad to have my daughter in my life. I will do everything in my power to ensure that her childhood supports her adult life later.

Grateful to be alive & aware,

to many people kill inocent babies just because its inconvienient. ( a form of contreception)

I believe this is very selfish and having no regard for life,

when so many childless couples would give anything to have a precious soul to love,

and if like me they didnt love you well you have precious souls of your own to love,

if I had been aborted instead of put up for adoption My 3 sons and 3 beautifull daughers wouldnt have been born,

so we not only kill the aborted child but never give a chance to the childs children,
