Story is Different ! Respect me. This is How it is

My beginnings are sacred. My adoption story is different and complicated. I try to be fair, when I write. I try to be clear. I appreciate the support that I get from fellow adoptees. For the most part my friends under stand, Where I am coming from This week I wrote about how I felt free and knowing that I have rights as an adoptee

Unfortunately it wasn't the case with one fellow adoptee. It is rare.

No explanation

I don't I need to explain myself to anyone especially what I am feeling in my adult world concerning my adoption

Talking minimum I felt as if I was talking to counselor who doesn't any clue about me and questioned my experience.

Never responded to my explanation It felt that the person just didn't get what I was saying or tried to understand . When this happens I clam up. It sounded like judgement. I didn't get a good feeling about my new friend. I wondered, I pondered whether to continue talking to the lady from Texas.

I need to be supported,

I have to be Me! I have learned that I have surround myself around people who understand me. I don't need a person making me feel judged.

ME or

I have my moments with my adopted story at times. I deal with them as they come .

I have to be my own person. I will have moments. Please allow me to feel my way in expressing my experiences. I'm making up for lost time in voicing my opinion on adoption. I have a voice

and I am determined to continue to speak out on adoptee issues. I might even make you squirm. Yes it will be uncomfortable and you might want to change the subject but you will survive.

If not well so long. Until next time
