I'm the 2nd oldest out of the 4 of us. In talking via emails/chat with my birth siblings...they had a hard time since i was inbetween them that my birthmom gave me up and none of them. It is also hard in talking about how different our upbrinings have been. Thankfully God chose a place for me....and I was VERY blessed and sometimes feel badly for my birthsisters who one out of 3 finished highschool...all had teen pregnancies...none of them married, etc. Not that any of that is "bad" or anything like that...but I feel badly that I had a solid Christian home, finished highschool, went to college, got married and now have children. My adoptive parents divorced when I was 4 and both parents remarried..but still nothing compares to what my birthsisters went through...sometimes I feel guilty for being adopted and given a better chance.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798592699364200465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-43476203856015161062011-09-13T11:36:17.175-04:002011-09-13T11:36:17.175-04:00What a beautiful note you received!

I know we joined on to reading your journey late, but your words area always so hopeful to me in the midst of this "waiting family" phase we are in right now. What a sweet note from Ty's sister- I think its amazing how there's one thing we want or feel called to, and its part of God's giant plan that is going to weaver together and encompass so many more things. More than we could ever have seen or planned, even with all of our thoughts and desires for the future. Praying for your journey as it continues...<br /><br />~MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-23563694523666863672011-09-09T14:26:20.986-04:002011-09-09T14:26:20.986-04:00Wow, what a letter. This open adoption thing sure...Wow, what a letter. This open adoption thing sure stretches our hearts and our minds, doesn't it? I think about this as well for Jackson - he has one birth sibling already and I know more will come from each of his birth parents as they move into their futures. And there is his sister, who is not biologically related to him, but is to us. Like I said, we are stretched in so many ways. But I love it - because we learn our capacity for love, acceptance and grace. So, so glad you are back again:).Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064955747540959696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-46888585726555486452011-09-09T14:16:24.068-04:002011-09-09T14:16:24.068-04:00this post is beautiful. thank you for sharing.

My son has four birth siblings with one on the way. My son is also two and doesn't realize it yet but he is connected to them, perhaps even more so than his birth parents.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021169041622431205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-90306998360696537602011-09-08T22:10:32.346-04:002011-09-08T22:10:32.346-04:00Wow.

I'm choking back tears!<br /><br />Our daughter doesn't yet have birth siblings, but it's something I think about for the future. Knowing that anyone in her birthfamily was hurting or in trouble would be enough heartache, but knowing it was a child and her sibling would be awful. <br /><br />So glad God linked your families together. Family is Gods design for our ultimate support system and through open adoption we've redefined and expanded our family!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791103718672105390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-26646848635493863772011-09-08T21:32:29.749-04:002011-09-08T21:32:29.749-04:00Our friends are ministering to their adopted son&#...Our friends are ministering to their adopted son's(he's 2) older sibling who just moved to our town to attend college. They picked her up and took her to church and then to a local theme park. Some in their family just don't "get it", why they would do such a thing...but I do, we have 2 open adoptions ourselves. It means a lot to have others who understand. :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
