Adopted


Hey, was just wondering if anyone else here was adopted or spent any time in foster care?

I'm half adopted. The man who raised me is not my real father. He adopted me when I was 3 years old. But has been with my mother for several years. The split up for a bit and my mum slept with 3 other men. And ended up pregnant. So we aren't sure who my father is.

2 of my half sisters were adopted (before I was born lol) and my parents were foster parents. So I myself was not part of the "system" but I've been on the receiving end of that coin and I love it.

My hubby was adopted from Korea. His adoptive parents had three girls "on their own" and then adopted three other kids after...one girl, then my hubby, then another boy. They were amazing people!

My sisters are Korean too! Their story, not as nice. My dad and his ex stressed to not break up any families. Timia came to visit before she was officially adopted. The day they went to the airport to pick Timia up... two little girls got off the plane. My dad didn't know that two girls were coming.
