Oh my god. I'm bawling. This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing subby, and thanks for putting this green mods.

somebody shot me...

I haven't watched the video yet. I'm adopted and have imagined what this might be like. I don't know if I'll ever have the nerve or the desire to do something like that, but I sure do think about it.

Hooray for Google.

I looked up my father (who I never knew) and found out that he's a lawyer with a website.

Haven't contacted him, but then again he also did the deadbeat dad thing. I imagine it would be weird...like this..I wonder if this isn't an anomaly that it went so well.

I wonder how his adoptive parents are taking this?
Big difference between giving birth and being a parent, obviously.
I hope the folks who raised him are ok with this.

I'm glad that went so well for him!

Hopefully that became the start of a wonderful friendship, with everyone involved (parents, adopted parents and kid)

My eyes are sweating for some reason.

Amazing.

The same thing happened with my family. My parents put a girl up for adoption when they were teenagers, they got married, had FIVE more kids, me being the youngest.

Girl finds her birth parents 30 years later along with five full-blooded siblings. (Genetic bonus for her, huh?). She now gets along great with us... it's like she has always been part of the family.


Thanks, subby. This is getting forwarded to lots of people I know.

goofoffgoose: . I'm adopted and have imagined what this might be like. I don't know if I'll ever have the nerve or the desire to do something like that, but I sure do think about it.

I'm with ya' on that. I made a few steps toward finding out, then I stuffed all the paperwork in a drawer only to take it out again a few years later and stuff it right back. I have the most amazing parents, so it just seems a bit selfish. Still, sometimes I think about the possibilities, but with the world in the state it is, I'd probably end up hate them and wishing I'd never known (at least, that's what I tell myself).

I was interested in my birth parents and checked into adoption angels on the net. they do the research for you to help find your birth parents. Well this dumbass finds a lady that had a kid accross town at a different hospital and tells her im her kid. Well this crazy lady started to stalk me. She started calling 2 -3 times a day. I finally had to call the police on her when she found out where I lived and dropped by one day. She drove 15 hours to come find me. I had told her many times on the phone that I wasnt even born in that hospital.

That experience turned me off finding my birth parents forever. My real parents (the ones that raised me) are more than perfect, I see no need in finding the vagina i popped out of.

I watched part one and two. In part one he interviewed his parents and they seemed fine with it.

This was real neat to watch, I am looking forward to part three.

Very much like my family. My parents had a child as teenagers, and gave up for adoption. They then had 3 more children. She 'found' my parents 7 years ago. We also get along great now, and very well with her adoptive family.

Come on, group hug time.

What if his parents are like Lily Tomlin and Alan Alda from that astonishingly funny film "Flirting With Disaster"?

The foster parents were hilarious too.(Mary Tyler Moore and George Segal)

one cool thing i did find out from looking into my birth parents was that there was a nursing strike in the hospitals the week I was born and that there was only a handful of babies that were given out for adoption that week. All the babies were smuggled out of the hospitals :)
That probably explains my incourageable desire to sneak out of buildings and sneak accross the borders haha.

/just kiddin about the border comment.. incase the man is readin
//lives 800m from the can/usa border

I was adopted in Germany and brought to the States. I have a lot of the information about my adoption from the hospital where I was born including my birth mother's name and age. I've never tried very hard to locate her, but I've always wanted to say thanks at least.

I'm 42 now. It might be too late.

Holy crap, that dude looks like someone from my old dorm

"Hello? Total strangers? Yeah, um, remember the time your spunk entered her vagina and penetrated one of her eggs, causing a fertilized zygotic reaction that you were not prepared to handle once brought to term? Yeah, that one! Well guess what? I'm your spawn from way back! And I've learned to use the Internet to track you down! Now either act like you're happy about it!"

I try not to watch videos liek this, mainly for one, being adopted, and two, I could never get through an episode of Adoption Stories on the Health Channel.

Anyway, while I would never ever meet my biological parents, they desevre bullets in the head no doubt for leaving me with a terrible terrible and preventable affliction nearly 25 years ago, I have met my brothers and sisters. Most of them were adopted out as well, and one of them practically lives with me now. 6 Brothers, 2 sisters all total. Problem is my biologicals also put them at risk, so yeah, like I said, bullet in the brain.

And to think when I was adopted I was an only child!

/Hates adoptive parents who don't tell their kids they were adopted
//It's wrong and unhealthy
///Also hates people who agree with such adoptive parents

they desevre bullets in the head no doubt for leaving me with a terrible terrible and preventable affliction

Life? Yeah, I hear that's a biatch.

LowbrowDeluxe

Life's a biatch and her mother is a whore. It'd be a shame if I didn't do anything with it, gotta play the dealt cards to the best of your ability, which is what I've been doing.

He is a stupid coont for doing that.

/I lost LYNN 11 years ago due to a social worker called Catherine Lane in Cecil County Maryland. She did not have a TPR from the birth father who is in prison for killing a state trooper.


She screwedup the paperwork.

When she dies, I will dig up her body and spread it in a pig farm.

Yes I amj bitter.

You are a human and I respect you for your statement, eloquently stated.

Tell your parents (the ones that raised you) that I respect them and I wish all of you the best.

/ again, the women that choose to give a child to a wanting family are simply the epitome of class.

/and i would love to meet you on a level playing field with any weapons chosen, I will hurt you and violate your corpse as well as lend your bag of flesh for the use of passing strangers.

/again, women that choose to let the adoption process help them as well as the adoptive couple are the BEST.

"

I agree. Though children like myself or my siblings who were taken away and given (albiet through a very lenghty process) to decent parents are no less deserving. Not that you said they weren't, just wanted to add my support to your sentiments.

Hrm... this is cool and all, but uh, I'm not sad from it ;-/

They have kind of a dead conversation going on. It's kind of like, "Uh... what's going on? How's life going?"

Though I guess I dunno what I would say either in this situation. I love how they're all forgiving each other for all the things that were done, etc.

cankersore: Now either act like you're happy about it!

OR?!?!?!

I'm no adoptee, but my mother did abandon myself and my brother at a young age. My father raised us and did a fine job, but I've often wondered what it would be like to know my biological mother, and have recently contacted her offering her a clean slate if she would come visit me and possibly my brother as well.

She accepted my offer after much debate apparently, it took her over a month to respond. But I hope for the best, though I worry we will have nothing to talk about. I'm 24 years old, my brother is 25, she hasn't been in our lives in 20 years.

I'm not expecting a mother of the year, I know she isn't. I just want to know her despite everything. I will never see her as the monolithic mother figure, but as a flawed human on my own level of whom there is a great deal of history between us.

All I'm saying to you farkers is, life is too short not to try. If you have a living biological parent or two who isn't part of your life, look them up.

If they aren't a shining example of parenthood then at least you know it isn't your fault you don't have a relationship. If they are cool, then you gain an extremely meaningful, and lifelong friendship. If you go in cautiously all you can lose is uncertainty.

It took me about 45 seconds to realise that this was not supposed to be funny.

Why is Fark not being funny?

Is it broke?

That's a nice picture you paint and I do hope everything works out for you. For me personally, I do know where they live, and what they do and that they keep trying to have more kids.

But I would not like to make amends while they are still shooting heroin and selling sex for drugs, and even involving run-aways and such. I mean, theres warrants for thier arrest, or so I've heard.

The_EliteOne

What I said was for those who don't know yet and are afraid to find out. You know your biological parents are bad people. And in your case I hope you don't contact them, because you seem to be quite a bit past them on the human development ranking. But good for you. Doing well despite a rough background is commendable.

Its people like you that break the cycle of bad or non-existent parenting.

In my extended family the adopted kid was the one who went to the most exclusive college and got the best paying, "Power 100 magazine article" type career. Go figure.

/I figure we inherited lousy DNA

Was it just me or did they bleep out God ?

My sister in law went through this kind of scenario. she went through an agency to find her birth mother. They found her and she agreed to be contacted.

Turns out, her mother is not the type of person she wants contact with again.

I'm adopted and several years ago I listed myself on an online adoptee database. Last November I got an email from a woman who thought she was my (half)sister. Long story short - she was. I've met my birth father, half sister, half brother and have a whole passel of other relatives. The whole thing has turned out to be great - everyone is really nice and my mom is thrilled with the whole thing - she always wanted to thank whoever put me up for adoption.
