About my family issues.
Hey Lauren,
Well, when I was little, I was taken away from my real mom, and my grandparents took me. She was not a good mom to be living with. Anyway, my grandparents opened a church, and a lady there called me her adopted daughter, and her whole family called me theirs, cause her sister was the pastor. But about a month ago, the pastor quit, and Of course, my adopted mom and her sister, left. And they promised me, that I'd always be a part of things. But I've been getting a cold shoulder. And I don't know what to do. I was always attatched. I guess it just hurts. I miss them. I wish I could just get over it, and face the fact that I really don't have a mom. So do you have any advice?
p.s. I love you! And I love your show. I actually went to the set once, and saw you! :)
Love,
Robyn

Hi Robyn, thanks for writing to me.
I've had a lot of family issues as well. It sounds very hard to have to go through something like that, but I have no doubt that you will pull through. You could send a letter to your adoptive mother explaining how you feel. It was wrong of her family to cut you off, but you said that she only called you her adopted daughter? (I'm assuming it wasn't official/legal.) If it had been official, she could not have cut you off like that. As I mentioned, you could try to contact her, or better, someone in her family.
But if all else fails, you may feel you want to move on. If you know of ANY family member from your family, try to contact them. Be glad that you have at least some family. If you don't, there is always a chance to get adopted (as crazy as that sounds.) I reccently read a story about a 40 year old woman who placed an ad in a newspaper and got a real, loving adoptive family. I realize that's a little extreme, but the other option is to start a family of your own someday. Eventually, things will fall into place.
Love,
Lauren Graham
