Forgive ness A choice!

My adoption story is different from most people.

My adoption is Kinship adoption.

My life started out with family.

My future was decided by family.

My truth came from family.

My truth was discussed by family.

My birth mother asked permission to talk to me about my beginnings. Adopted mom

My Mom was hesitant to tell me anything

I was 33 years old!

At 42-43 I found my voice

I worked on my anger. I let my family off the hook!

I stood up and wrote down my story.

I went through a lot of fear.

I worked through my fear.

Freedom came when I realized that my beginnings and the present is apart of me.

When I knew my story was truth

I could tell about my beginnings.

I became creative in telling my story.

I wrote 2 stories. Books

I put in a lot of thought and consideration of my family.

I put in a lot of prayer in what I wrote.

I know that sometimes family didn't agree.

I worked through anger.

I let things go.

I let people off the hook.

I know that I have done so. I have chosen how to treat family.

I work through layers as it comes up.

I have given a voice to the Family secret!

Until next time
