Day One- The search begins.

Today is my first day to actively begin my search for my birth family. So many emotions are involved in this, but this search has been something I need to do. I am not searching for my birth family because I grew up in a household that was bad, in fact the total opposite, I know my adopted family raised me in their best way possible. I knew I was loved every day, and that they would do anything they could do for me. I knew that my happiness came before theirs, and I do not regret them adopting me. They never kept my adoption a secret, if anything there were always open and honest with me about it. My parents shared all the information they had received, but since it was a closed adoption they did not have a lot to tell me.

What I do know is that I have three siblings older than me, and that my parents were very young when they had me, 24 and 26. With the knowledge that their are these people out there that have blood ties to me, pulls at me. I would like to meet my parents and my siblings. I would like to know them.

I know that the outcome could not be what I want, but in the end I have to try. I have to know I put myself out there and took that chance to meet my birth family.
