Some new thougths...

Ok, I admit its been forever since I have been on here and for that my deepest apologies. Sometimes a person needs a breather from things. Just for the ones on the outside looking in I am the normal single mom of three wonderful kids. If one could look inside they would see what a small percentage of people have felt at some point in there life. They would find the frustration, the anger, the results of lies so many lies, the unanswered questions, the hurt from it and lastly relief when the truth is finally out. Sad part is it just casuses more questions. The biggest one is one that will never be answered...why? During my digging I found out that you can kill, rape and beat a woman and face charges 10, 20 or 30 years after the fact but you can beat torture a child and in 3 to 7 years be scott free of charges and/or responsibility of the incident. Well we all know what we get from that if said child lives thru such an ordeal...right a vicious cycle of abuse. I am wondering where is the justice in this. How does this stop child abuse? Putting up posters, commericals on the tv or sending out stuff thru schools isnt enough, maybe a slap to the wrist was suffient in 1700 but this is 2013 and its not enough. Law makers need to wake up and see that they may not like Obama but for the love of God, hes right its time to change the laws for todays time. These abusers shouldnt be allowed to continue to hurt our tomorrow, damage our doctors, lawyers or even our waitress of tomorrow. Every child should be able to live breathe and eat somewhere safe clean and without fear of whats to come next.
Ok now that I am off my soapbox for a minute that brings me to my next subject...Why does the state of Indiana feel that they have the right to stop us from finding our past? I think our past should be just as open as theres is. What do they gain from hiding it? I guess its there to protect the person that was in the wrong, the one who abused negeleted or in some cases did worse not said child. Some laws Indiana...way to go!!! If the state of Indiana was protecting the children of the state why do they have a law that states that there is only a statutory period of 7 years and remove the children and they tell the children once they are grown of course find your birth parent but please dont ask us for anything just register and see what happens is all we can do for you. Amazing isn't it? Some of us seperated for abuse, negelet or just not being properly taken care of and some are just babies having babies and the birth parent makes a very hard decision but is what is best for the baby. Even in the least situation the state says move on with your life and they make nearly impossible to find the birth family. To the state of Indiana I must ask is this fair to the ones who want to know, do really find this fair to us? I mean really we were the innocent, we are the ones you took an oath to protect by law. It was our birth parent who did wrong by us so why are we punished by denying us our birth right?
Thanks for reading there is more to come thru this small but yet so familar saga. I promise that!!!

Unanswered Prayers.....

I hit my knees and asked You for a change, for something new, for strength and for my smile back. I also asked You to stop the tears and the hurt. You always said in time, that I would be ok, that you wouldn't let the storm last longer than the night. Through so many prayers and tears, You stepped in and ripped from me what "I thought" I wanted. You looked down on me with a hidden plan, with the knowledge that I was going to have something better that I wasn't going to have to have this hurt last forever and the longing of wanting someone would soon happen. I strayed from Your plan and tried to make the "never gonna happen" happen. I tried to make it where it would be possible, knowning deep down it wasn't going to happen. Going through this crazy rollar coster ride and watching this hills realizing that this was insane to go through this and the lies that piled up on it. Finally realizing that my feelings had changed and You finally, reached down and said now is the time, this is your moment here you go. Through one look, through weeks of planning You sat back and watched me smile and watched the feelings strike a match. In the softness of a kiss, the strength in a hand and the love of two hearts started to mend and melt one. The couriousity of wanting to know everything, the ache to get closer, the feeling of missing that one person and the smile that never leave now. So....I thank you for the unanswered prayers! I ask now that You give me the guidence for this new path, the guidence that I make the right choices. There's a four hearts that thank you daily for everything. I patiently wait for the rest of this love story to unfold it's going to be a wild and crazy ride!!! None the less I am ready for it, ready for that change ready for everything to fall into place I know things take time, but we will make this happen, so I guess now all I ask his that you bless him, take care of him, hold him close and never let him forget that hand in hand, one we got this and two I love him. Also that I feel truly lucky to have him in my life, I am greatful for him.

Just Words...

Born and broken, ripped from one dumped on another and finally landed in your arms. Noses wiped, heart felt hugs, kisses goodnight and tons of I love you's. Held when it mattered, shoved into the right direction and given the power of a strong mind. The heartfelt goodbyes, the strong hand to hold and so many tears. The tremble of a scared child, the tears and fears that are felt. Finally forced into adulthood, can still look back and see so much of that scared child sitting on the floor playing with her baby dolls. When does me catch up with me? Feeling so lost split between two worlds. Been married and blessed with children. Now divorced and watching the children play with each other and watching the bond that has been formed. Hearing the giggles and seeing the smiles. Hearing the I love you's, getting the hugs for one returned and breaking up fights between sisters and a brother who sits and watches and laughs, like something is funny. Trying to keep the head above water, praying for a miracle and all of a sudden three worlds collide like an avalanche. Sitting in church asking God so many questions wondering how he can keep it all straight. Thankful that he can, hardly managing it all. Tear filled eyes, knees hit the floor and ask for someone to understand.....that day when the phone rang, words that were so needing to be heard "I understand, been there, felt that too" and "I am with you on that". There's a sigh of relief, a new struggle begins and so a light is shed while one burns out. A new hand reaches in and a new friend says it's ok, even at 3 am. The biggest questions don't never seem to have an answer, the deepest pain isn't felt by any other and rarely eased. Where is the right place to be, to go? The words that are so longed to hear haven't been heard, even through the I love you's everything seems empty. Never do too many who understood all this, only one seems to get it completely. So thankful that you were there, you reached in and made it seem ok.

Some will read this and say none of that makes sense, well if you are in my shoes it makes more than perfect sense. You understand, you know some of it may be different but you know it, you walk it and you live it. Some one once told me that they were more blessed than I was because he wasn't adopted and the pain doesn't seem worth it. I should let it all go. If you have been told that, here's something to remember. The Father knows, He cares, our burdens are His, our lives are His. Everything is going to be alright, we will get through we finally have our pains ridden of. The struggle of emotions are high, but through His love we will be kept strong. With the Father in our corner no one can be against us. Pray and watch the miracles he works. He catches every tear, holds the broken and mends and restores us to brand new. No storm last forever, only for a night!

Felt by many....

There's a hole in my soul and it just won't heal there's a rage and a pain that I still feel and now that I am in the middle of a journey that I have no clue where it will take me, and a little scared of the bumps and falls, I have faith that some how I will come out stronger. I will some how come out of this whole. There is a loss that I feel, an emptiness that I have felt for so long that it's like a endless pit of wonder, and have to ask does anyone else feel this, am I the only one. Better yet doesn't anyone care? I have been through the lows of life and pulled out somehow and never once hit my knees and said thank you Father for placing your hand on me and carrying me through. Once again I have to say there's a hole in my soul and it just won't heal, there's a rage and a pain that I still feel. I meet people and asked myself, could that be her, could that be him. Would they reconize me, would they know me if they saw me on the street. Would they know my voice if they heard through a phone? My biggest question is would it heal if they were found, if they did know me again, would it just stop? Yes it will and some of it has started to close. Cause I have learned that I am not the only one who has felt these feelings, if your an adoptee you know them, you have felt them and most importantly you understand them.

I bet by now you are wondering where all that came from, yeah I would too if someone sent me an email like this. Today was day unlike any other. I went through and started thinking of so many things. My mom's, my dad's, sister's, brother's and other families. I went to the park and sat and watched my own children play and my mom's words ran through my head of she didn't care, she didn't want to know anything about my adoption and how the state should seal my records and never let me have them. Somewhere inside of me there's always been a hole, always been an emptiness, and when those words were spoken to me, that hole grew. My mom's main concern is me and my kids getting out of her house. The word adoption isn't to be mentioned in this house or my birth family. Okay well here's the thing, my adoption is me, it's apart of me, ok so the part of my birth family is somewhat wacked (being nice here), but they are mine. The thing is that if they never did what they did then I wouldn't have had this life, they wouldn't have had me. What they did isn't important, it's the people that were lost in transitions. I guess on this day I found a new anger I had never felt before, an anger/hurt/pain with a side of the urge to vomit. I have never felt that way toward my mom before. She got mad at me cause I asked if you can't stand my adoption then why did you ever do it? Didn't you think for one second that I would want to know about it? The pain, the tears, the laughter, hugs, cries, anger all of that comes into it. Didn't you think for one second that this would be important to me? If you didn't how could you not? I guess we both spoke words of truth and hurt that day.
