Ask your friends if you want advice that's sugar coated. Ask your coworkers if you want advice that's loaded with ulterior motives. Ask your family if you want brutal answers that really only answer their own issues, and never really address yours.


Ask me if you want it straight up. Not shaken or stirred with someone else's issues.

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!im 14 and when i was born my mom put me into a foster home(couldnt take care of me)(i have 9 blood brothers/sisters) and when i was 4 i was adopted and given to a great family.the problem is the adoption people said that they lost the photo album with my mom/grandma/and me in it.my foster mom had baby pictures of me but when i left she wouldnt give me any of them because she was mad that she couldnt keep me(leagal reasons).the youngest pict i have of myself is when i was 4 right before i was adopted(school pict) but i really want to see baby pict of me and also pict of my mom/grandma.for some reason my parents get mail from the adoption adency(its like a bill)and i was curious so i took one.i have the name of the agency(also a guy that i think might have helped with the adoption) and the adress but i tried to look it up on the internet and couldnt find anything.i dont live any where near the agency because i moved.i just really want my baby pict! you dont know how it feels not to know what your blood mom looked like or what you looked like when you where a baby.it hurts when i have school projests that requre me to bring in baby pict and im the only one without any!please help if you can!

Ask your parents to contact the adoption agency and see if there is any way the people there can facilitate a way to get a picture to you. Even if they can just contact your foster parent and get a picture scanned or emailed or mailed on a disk that would solve the problem.

You are so justified in wanting a baby pic of yourself. I'm no expert in adoptions at all, but it would seem that the adoption agency has records of your adoption and adoption of your blood siblings. Maybe then can contact their families and see if there are some group pictures that include you at a younger age.

If this doesn't work I would look up sites that try to reunite siblings who were adopted to different families. You can post your agency and the city where you adopted and might get some hits from your siblings.

I'm so sorry your foster mom didn't pass those pictures along. She clearly loves you so much, and hopefully she realizes that she can pass you along so much love if she gives you and your family that piece of your history.
