I can relate to your problem. Ilost my kids through adoption about 5 years ago. I have never been the same since. I don't get to see them, and I miss them like crazy, and I still cry about it all the time.

Ok... your parents put you up for adoption to give you a better life that they could not give you. They were tryin to make your life the best. And try keeping a diary and writting down how you feel about things. Talk to your parents and call your friends more often even if you just wanna talk!!
Hope i Helped!

I know how you feel, feeling sad all the time. I'm the same way, and I don't really know why either. The best thing to do is to talk to someone. Talk to whomever your guardian is, and tell them how you've been feeling. The best thing to do is to go to a counselor. There are anti-depressents too if it gets serious, and that helps most people become happier. And because you're adopted I think that could have a lot to do with it. I think it's be best if you went to a professional to tell them how you feel, and they can help you out. You can IM me anytime if you want! Hope everything gets better!

Hope I helped!

You probably need to seek some professional advice if your depressed feeling very often.
If your interested in the symptoms you can check my column, I gave them to another person recently.

It's perfectly natural to be curious about your biological parents.You must remember though that they are not your parents.They probably have reasons for why they put you up for adoption but they have done no "parenting". Have you discussed your curiosity with your mom? I would.She is probably expecting you too sooner or later.She may even be able to answer some of your questions.

Because you want to no your real parents ask your adopted parents if you could track the parents down. Do something that makes you happy go out with your friends.

This is a difficult question to answer. But I will try to share what I know...

I'm not really adopted, but my mother divorced my biological father while she was still pregnant. I grew up not knowing my father and missing that relationship even though my step-father cared for me and legally adopted me. I think I have an "idea" of what you might be feeing, though I can't say that I completely understand.

Try to think positively about the situation. When you are eighteen, if you wish, you may seek your biological parents. I don't know how this will go. But either way, it will give you some closure, and closure alone can do you a world of good. Simply for the fact that you will stop wondering.

Until then, remind yourself how much your adopted parents love you. Don't let the relationship that you have with them die because of the absence of your biological parents.

If you are sad sometimes and don't know why, you might benefit from anti-depressants. Ask your family to take you to the doctor, and have a long discussion with your physician. He will be able to diagnosis your problem and prescribe something appropriate. You might have to wride the anti-depressant roller-coaster for a while, different drugs work for different people. But hopefully you'll be able to find something that works for you.

Let me know if you need someone to listen. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help, but I am here. I wish you the best ;) Ja!

Oooh, poor baby.

You should see a psychiatrist. Or at least give the school counselor a visit. They're usually very very nice and helpful.

When you have sad feelings, try not to dwell on them and do things that make you happy.

Ask your parents if they will help you trace your biological parents, they probably can provide you with help and information.

Best of Luck, sweet pea

You should try to think about and look at the present and future, not the past and what could've been. Maybe you do have depression, maybe you should consider seeing a doctor. Good luck.

nameless answered Sunday March 20 2005, 10:17 pm:
Sorry to say, no one can put a stop to this but yourself. It's not written in some dusty manual why people react to certain thoughts in certain ways -- we are emotional, and we just ... do. Sadness comes with life. Think about being adopted as a good thing and not as a "what if it didn't happen" situation. Sometimes it's not worth it to linger in the past, because it'll never come and the only chance you get of enjoying being adopted is rolling away before your eyes.

well its obviously depressino and the thing is it's only happening to you. hundreds of thousands of kids are adopted and feel the same way. all i can think of is for you to foget about your real parents as of now because you cant be livin in the past. you gotta pay more attention to your future and how your gonna live you life and if oyur lucky you'll beable to meet you real parents when your older. i hope i helped and if you need it you can IM me.
