The Date Is Set. March 8, 2007 at 2:31 pm. However, I just don’t feel “ready” yet. I’m nervous and a little scared. Having a toddler who keeps me very busy and exhausted makes me wonder how on earth we will adjust. How will my son adjust? I worry about him feeling like he’s not getting his quality mommy time. I worry about the sleepless nights. I don’t do well on no sleep. Last time around I had a few meltdowns where I turned into some crazy person that I didn’t recognize.

1st xmas sans afamily. My relationship with my aparents has ebbed and flowed over the years since I was a teen. Basically as long as I am being the good daughter and not questioning them, everything is okay. Shortly after my son was born I decided to stand up for myself after one to many criticisms from my mother. This didn’t go over very well and basically, we have barely spoken since. And the thing is, at this point, I hope they don’t call because I don’t even know how I would handle it. Does being tol...

Getting more of the story | What do I do now?
https://mayzie.wordpress.com/2007/07/05/what-do-i-do-now
Some stuff you may or may not know about me. What do I do now? Please tell me, cause I can’t figure it out! Laquo; What to do? Getting more of the story. July 5, 2007 by Im Thinking Now. In my previous post I said:. 8220;Then, I wanted to try and repair things with my adopted parents (a whole other post to explain this).”. This is the way that I understand what happened (though I’m sure my adoptive mother has another perspective). She wanted me to drive:. A – Three hours. B – By myself. Either the next d...

Finding Jane Doe: Christmas 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-2010.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Monday, December 27, 2010. Cross-posted from Over A Candle. Ronni and I hadn't been sure where we would spend Christmas this year. We toyed with the idea of staying home. In the end, we opted to visit my biological family in Missouri. All of this confirms my initial opinion: I hate Chicago. If I never fly through O'Hare again, it will be too soon. I don't know why I thought this would be any d...The s...

Finding Jane Doe: July 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Spending time with my fellow adoptees the past few days was amazing. It's hard to know, even, how to explain it to someone else. Being around people who get it, really truly get it, is so freeing and validating. It allows me to be myself in a way that I don't often get to be. I don't want to feel that way around other adoptees. And I did feel more comfortable around them th...

Finding Jane Doe: May 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. They Won't Like Me. Being friends with my biological brothers (my father's sons) on Facebook has at least one serious drawback: I'm almost certain they won't like me. Hell, much of the time, I don't like myself. How can I expect people who seem to think some of my views are downright un-American to like me? Links to this post. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Last Friday I attended a ser...

Finding Jane Doe: August 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Saturday, August 14, 2010. I try not to cross-post between here and Over A Candle too much. But because of the adoption themes inherent in this post, and because I know not everyone who reads here reads there, I thought I should share this in both places. Unfortunately, I never really met anyone I got to know well enough who also did tattoos. So I sat on the impulse for over a decade. I told Devon wha...

Finding Jane Doe: April 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Monday, April 26, 2010. I'm still struggling with the invitation to go the my father's family reunion. The end of the semester has been keeping me well occupied, so I haven't actually dealt with anything. I have arranged my summer travel so that I can go if I want to. And I do want to. I know that much about myself. I want to go. Curiosity, in the end, outweighs all the other hard feelings. The two gu...

Finding Jane Doe: Parents Have Little Effect?
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2011/04/reasons-for-parents-to-enjoy-having.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Friday, April 22, 2011. Parents Have Little Effect? I wrote about this on Over A Candle. But there was more I wanted to point out that was specifically adoption related. I can't help but wonder how different people would react to that? Would most adoptees say "duh"? Would adoptive parents balk or agree? Would adoption advocates be outraged? I don't know. This early in the morning, I don't even kno...
