i cant stop thinking about my niece who got adopted?

  • Posted on April 17, 2011 at 9:21 am

long story cut short here guys. 11 years ago my brothers druggie girlfriend got pregnant the same time as me and i was so happy to be a mum where my brothers girlfriend choose herion over her baby and left her on a bed at the hospital with a note saying do what you want with her as i don’t want her.there was no suitable family members to take her on on the mothers side of the family so then it come to our side of the family where my selfish brother did not want to know
(which is a good thing now as he is a waist of space and cant look after his other children). i was asking questions about taking her (baby) on myself but as a new mum myself of a month old baby and a not so supportive partner my hands were tied.
she was placed up for adoption and has gone to a very loving family as we exchange letters/photos and what i read she has come a long way from the baby that was a heroin dependent as soon as she breathed her 1st breath. i look at my own daughter who is the same age and it brings a lump to my throat knowing that i have a little niece out there who was rejected by her mum and dad and i just wish i could of done more and kept her in the family as it breaks my heart to think that she was rejected.
i know se has a wonder full life and her parents will love her dearly but i cant stop thinking about if it was my child that got adopted and none of her family wanted to know would this screw her up in the long run.
i have no doubt about her being in the rite hands but i cant stop thinking about her and thinking of my own children and how they would feel if they knew that there mum and dad gave up on them.
i have stayed in contact through a mailbox so i know there will be plenty of things for her to read through when shes older and know that someone from her biological family never gave up.do you think i will always feel thismsadness for her.
thanks guys any answers will be a big help x

Should persons adopted from other countries be deported if they commit a crime?

There have been several stories about this recently, see the link below for examples:

Excerpt from the article:

“Kairi Shepherd got caught forging checks to pay for her meth habit. Erlene Shepherd’s quirky record-keeping went on trial. And as a result, her daughter has been snared in the morass of sometimes conflicting American immigration laws – legally adopted, a permanent resident, but still facing deportation to a country she never knew.”

We celebrate July 9 every year by having pizza and calling it GOTCHA day. She’s a great kid and now has a relationship with her bio family as well. Unfortunately her adoptive dad is on meth and out of the picture. She would be thrilled if you would answer! Thanks.

We have an adopted daughter born addicted to crack. She hates math & general punishments don’t work? HELP?

  • Posted on August 3, 2010 at 5:19 am

She has Severe ADHD and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. We have tried everything from rewards to punishments and nothing works. How can we get her to do her Math without having a battle every day. She is home-schooled because she cannot make it in public school she was failing everything but she makes A’s and B’s at home with the exception of Math. Please help us?
She is 9 1/2 Years old. We do praise her on her Work well done and she earns rewards for every A she receives but Math is still a part of scool and she still has to learn it. We just can’t find a skill that will help her to learn and not be so confused.
