Adoption (Personal experience)
I was wondering if any one could tell me their experiences with adopting children (or if you are adopted). Do you feel like there is a "bond" missing? Do you wish they were blood? Things like that...And if you are adopted do you feel like you are missing your biological family? (especially kids who were adopted after like age 2 (so that they remember the process)?
Also, does anyone have any experience adopting kids from an abusive home??
Thanks so much!!

I was adopted by my father when i was seven. he's always been my father, but i was adopted when i was seven. i still have my biological mother and stuff, but when i was eleven my parents told me about it. I'm almost fifteen now, and i still feel sorry that my "real" father didn't care enough to stick around after the one night in which he met my mother. But then again, i have to realise that he didn't want me, and my mother did, and my father did too. I always feel bad at least once, then i remember that my dad had decided to take me and my elder brother, whose dad was abusive and he doesn't know him, and he wanted to take us as his own kids, even though he has my other older brother of his own. I think that if you do adopt children, it'd be for the better, and they will realise that their real parents either didn't want them, or that they just couldn't. But you did, so they'd probably really like you. They'd feel bad, but it'd be for the better, and they'd be really happy in the long run. Just don't shut out the biological parents, or the truth. If they wanna talk, listen. If not, leave it be. Hope this helps.

I have a close friend that went through the foster care system..If you're planning on adopting a child from an abusive home or abusive foster home (unfortunately, alot of them are), then just be prepared to deal with possible drama. Depends on the child, though..Pains me to see how the system can treat children so..
You sound very kind, though. I'm sure any child you adopt can see you have pure intentions. And no, love doesn't always come from blood or "family". If you truly love someone, then they ARE family.
