Angela’s Adoption Story

Age 6

Adopted" is when you're a baby and you don't come out of someone's belly but you get picked instead.

My birthmom took bad drugs and they had to move her around a lot so I haven't seen her since I was a baby.  She wanted me but she couldn't take care of me and the bad drugs made me sick when I was in her belly. I wish I could see her.  I only have one picture of her in my scrapbook.  I wish I could know her at least a little.  I'd like to ask her why she took bad drugs and why she wanted to get sick and get me sick and why did she choose to move out of state.  I would ask her to get well.

I'm glad I'm adopted.  My brother and sisters are all adopted. Most of my friends are not adopted. I wish all of my friends were adopted so they could come to TAP group.

It's lots of fun and I've made lots of friends.
