I knew a Phi Kap in school who was adopted along with his sister - they were both born in Korea. A couple years later, their mother had a blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter. That daughter was 5 before she realized that she was different from her brother & sister!

Hootie,

I went to high school with two siblings that were in the same situation as your friends.

Their father was a teacher at my high school and he told me the story.

Coach Hazel (the teacher) and his wife were having problems having kids so they decided to adopt. Well, it was taking a while for the adoption to go through and they decided, what the heck, we'll just try again for chance. Well, they tried, not thinking anything would happen pregnancy-wise. Well, a couple of months later, Coach Hazel received a call at work from the adoption agency saying they could adopt this little baby boy (which they named Michael). Well, about an hour later, he received a phone call from his wife saying she was pregnant, and he said "well, we can adopt a boy." Obviously, she said OK with the continuance of the adoption and with the pregnancy. So they adopted a baby boy and named it Michael and had a baby girl 7 months later and named her Sarah.

I am but never met my birth parents because unfortunately they passed away.

my cousin was adopted, and then 3 years later my aunt was pregnant, and then 4 years later, she was pregnant again. my cousin knows he is adopted and they are a very happy family. all 3 boys were treated the same amongst all my family...which i know may seem like it would be the norm, but after hearing some other traumatizing stories, i consider it a blessing.'

i, too, plan on having a "brood" of kids. i wanna be pregnant and all that (maybe...this back pain has about killed all desire for labor :p ), but i really want to adopt. not just babies, either. i know there are plenty of pre-teens, teens, "non-infants" out there that need perfectly good homes, too.

Well...you have to quit having just buttsex if you want to get pregnant.

I'm just being honest!

oh, blaine....i don't wanna be pregnant noooow.....so for the moment, i can have all the buttsex i want! :p

--can i call you rudey?

;)

No way dude. That's reserved only for the man behind the name.

Just call me buttsex.

I highly encourage buttsex as a way to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

-Rudey
--Massages your inner spirit!

HAHA

/hijack of perfectly good thread :p

i stated that you could call me buttsex, not that I prefer to be called that.

Give me my points back bia!

NEVER!

bwa-hahahaha!

Back on topic!

I'm adopted as well as my father (who is also a Sigma Nu from Mount Union). I was adopted at birth and brought home from the hospital 6 weeks later (my birthday is 11/8 and I was brought home on 12/13 - and yes, it was a friday ;) ). I would give anything to meet my biological parents - I want to know what they look like, I want to know what the story is about me, and of course I want to know about my health problems because I have MANY. I do know some information about them - she was 19, he was 21. She was 5'7 with strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes, loved horses, and finished the 11th grade. He was 5'9 with blonde hair and brown eyes, loved cars, and finished high school. I'm 5'6 with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, grew up around horses and cars all my life. Kinda funny how things work. :) My father met his mother and she didn't really want to speak to him but he did find out that she had another son years later that she kept. Unfortunately, he was killed by a drunk driver before my dad could meet him. BUT my dad did meet his widowed wife and son and their son looks JUST LIKE my little brother - from what my dad said. I've always known - since I could comprehend the fact and I would never speak to my parents again if they had done it any other way. That's just f'kd up! Now as far as the pro-life thing is concerned, I'm 100% pro-choice. I am VERY thankful for the decision my biological parents made but I still believe a woman has the right to make whatever decision she wants.


*edit: I was adopted because my mother was told by at least a dozen specialists that she would not be able to have children. She always wanted a girl, so here I come and then 3 years later. BAM! Little brother Jeff is born! :) Only problems - mom had to have a c-section and he was a blue baby.

My dad is adopted and his sister is as well. My grandmother had been told that she could not have children bc of some reason.. well a few years after adopting my aunt (my dad is the oldest) she got pregnant.

My dad in no way wants to know anything about his parents. My grandmother actually has a lot of information on the both of them in case for reason they needed to know. I know that he doesnt want to know.. but everyonce in a while I want to know bc people are always wondering where I am from. I have real tan olive skin, real dark hair.. my dad's hair is so dark its black and then some of my features as well. I just think it would be interesting to know.

this may be a stupid question, but when a newborn is adopted is a new birth certificate issued with the adoptive parents names on it?
