Unanswered Questions

Noreen  Ann Jenkins
Today I was told that I'm adopted.

My head was spinning around and around.

I'm confused and angry right now.

There are lots of questions running through my mind.

Why did my birth mother gave me up ?

Why did she hated me that much ?

Who is she ? What kind of person is she ?

Does my dad know of my existence or not ?

Do I look like them ?

Have they forgotten about me ?

Do I have any natural brothers or sisters ?

Do they know of my existence or not ?

If my adopted parents didn't tell me today,

then I would of have never known.

For they have treated me and raised me

like I was their natural child.

For now, I want the questions left unanswered

because to me,

my adopted parents are like my real parents,

for they are the ones who raised me,

put me through school,

they were there for me

when I was sick,

when I was in trouble

and when I needed them.

And my birth parents sure

were not there for me.

    I have three nephews that were adopted..one at birth..the others at 18 months and 2 years...they ask these questions at times..I can feel the hurt they know....the one that was adopted at birth did meet his mother and siblings at age 16..it really helped him to grow..and heal..the other two..their mother never told her other children about "them" so they never were able to make a sort of 'closure' if you will...but they are all sooooo very loved by my sister and brother in law...they are "their" children !!!!!!....
