Lurking. May I ask a question?

theroadahead · September 2012

Is this board mostly for parent wanting to adopt? Or parents/mothers giving their children up for adoption?

My story is that my birth mother kept me but my birth father wanted nothing to do with me and even 24 years later it still haunts me. I was wondering if there was anyone else like that here? I don't know if I'd be welcome here? If that isn't the nature of the board I will completely understand and I will scurry away.

Final note I have SO much respect for adoptive parents who are willing to take a child into their home and love them. My mom's husband did this for me and I will forever be greatful. You truly are amazing people.

Welcome. This board is for anyone involved with adoption, whether it is adoptees, BM's or AP's. I personally cannot answer your question but there may be some folks on this board that can. The PP is an adoptee and it appears she never her dad until she was older. Perhaps she can respond to you or there are others on the board who were in similar situations.

Thank you! I just didn't want to offend anyone if they felt I didn't belong. But I feel like you have welcomed me with open arms!

Ditto PP. This board is really anyone related to adoption. We have all kinds of different people on here.I am so sorry to hear about your dad. What a loss for him.

Our current journey is that we are foster parents.

Welcome to the board. I'm not in the same situation, but there may be someone else here who is.

Welcome.

I don't know if anyone here is in the same situation, but you might encourage a lurker or 2 to share a similar story. You never know.

We adopted our daughter a couple of years ago. Her birthfather has not been involved at all. We have a good relationship with her birthmom

Thanks everyone for welcoming me! My mother doesn't like to talk about my bio dad he is a pretty awful person. Tried to push her down the stairs at 7 months pregnant. I met him when I was 20 but felt nothing so I have no desire to meet him again he has two kids but all they do is try to tell me what a great person he is, so I don't keep in touch with them either.

I'm so sorry about your troubles with your BD, that sounds very scary for your poor mom. This is a very welcoming board, like PPs said anyone touched by/interested in/dealing with/etc. adoption is welcome here and there might be others that are in a similar situation.
