Good bye to pushy family!

Being Me

The importance of being me! Being adopted I feel forced at being pushed to being in a mold to be like my adopted family.

I have found that I can't do that any longer.

Think like family

Behave and Live like my family.

I have tried to help family Understand

What I have learned about adoption and why I am the way I am.

I have had feelings wanting to connect with family but can't.

I have have tried to fit the mold.

I sometimes wonder where I do fit in.

I don't fit in with my first family as I have been pushed away as I belong to another branch of the family.

My adopted family want me to fit in! I think differently.

I am in touch with my feelings

I have found my identity in Christ

I forget at times.

I embrace the talents that God has given to me.

Writing and helping others

Saving money and using it for ministry.

Attending church and not living there. I am forced to feel guilty about not being active in the church.

I have to beWatching how much I do.

I feel that what I do is of worth or is valuable.

I value people over money.

How much money I spend or that I am spending too much money.

I am Embracing life and having fun.

I have tried to measure up and be like family and to fit in a mold

I like to see people laugh and smile.

I am forced to listen to what others are doing.

They could a rip what makes me smile.

Bring me to life.

I take time to know people and not think that people are not perfect or up to my standards.

I have to focus on what works for me !

I don't want to lose contact with family.

I feel left out by my family at times.

Hurt!

I do things differently.

I don't measure up.

I feel comfortable with being me!
