Stacey, per your request, this is a warning that you don’t want to read on.
The rest of the entry is below the fold.
Adandoned Child graduates
This is a video news story of a girl who is graduating high school. She was abandoned at birth, wrapped in a bloody towel with the umbilical cord still attached. She was left on the side of the road in a paper bag, in the evening, in the dead of winter. One man found her (I believe he was an off duty firefighter) – just sort of stumbled upon her by accident. He took her to the hospital. Her internal body temperature had already dropped to 90 degrees. She was eventually adopted.
The part that struck me was her feelings she expressed towards her natural mother (who was never found). She said that she thought that she was just a scared girl, with no support, with no one to turn to, and didn’t know what to do. If she’s expressing her true feelings on it – I think she’ll be very healthy in her life from now on.
There’s a 4 year old inside me, and she hurts…
For the last month or so, I haven’t been visiting the adoption boards as I once did. I haven’t been moving forward in the search for the oldest sister. I haven’t done much of anything in particular since finding my youngest sister. I did send the letter to my brother (althought I haven’t heard anything). I did send the adoption waiver to the state for my oldest sister’s file. But I know where she is and who she is, and yet, I haven’t moved on it.
The only thing I can think of is that finding my youngest sister was so overwhelming and BIG to me that I’ve wanted to soak that in first.
and away we go…
So. We’re up and running! I am, however, way behind on my archive uploading. I could, with MT, do an import, but with all the coding I would have to do anyway, it’s really as much work to do entry by entry. So, I’m still working on that and the other things I want to add to the site.
I haven’t talked to Stacey since Thursday. I’m sort of a slave to her schedule at the moment, and that’s okay. But I worry about her when I don’t hear from her in a while. She’s got a lot on her plate.
calls calls calls…
This sister business is interesting!
I have the power to make my sister cry. I did not know that. It was good crying. You see I let her know that my mom (our great-aunt biologically speaking) would like to talk to her. I think she’s leary of mom because of the fact that she is still in contact with Jeannette. She asked why? I told her it was because they (mom and dad) wanted her. They didn’t get to keep her because their dad came to get them, but they wanted her. She had to pull over (she was in the car). She just started crying! I was very much OH NO!! But she explained to me that other than her dad, no one ever wanted her (in her mind). Now she’s finding this family that actually did want her, cared about her, and thought about her. She was overwhelmed in a good way. And yes, she wants to talk to my mom.
