My biological family couldn’t care for me so I had to go into foster care in which the family I got placed in started to take care of me. I got to visit my father somewhat as a baby yet my “mother” never came around to me. I kept hearing all these excuses of why my “mother” couldn’t see me growing up. Now that I’m an adult when I tell people about being adopted they question and give me backlash why I won’t take care of my biological “mother” and my answer to them is that “she wasn’t there for me.” I’ve even been guilt tripped that I should be “glad she gave birth to me” and “poor her it must be difficult to separate from your child” and “help her out.” I do feel for her due to the reasons why she was unable to care for me yet when I saw her as an adult it didn’t last longer than a week. My “stepfather” and older biological sister spoke to me more than she ever did! Now that I’m able to take care of myself and have a decent job, decent education and decent living all I want to do is show her that even though she didn’t care for me that I’ll care for myself!
