I was adopted as a baby. But I was in foster care for 4 months before my parents could bring me home. I've met both birth parents and their respective families, become close with them briefly, and then had a falling out of sorts. Over the last few years (even before I lost contact with my birth family), I became really curious about my foster parents. I've thought about them before, but it wasn't until this last year that I just can't seem to let go of the fact that there was another set of parents out there who took care of me before I came home. I'm not looking to fill the void in the loss of contact with my birthfamily - as there isn't a void. Sadness, yes. But I am finding peace in that situation. But I'm always wondering about whether they'd even remember me anymore? Do they love me? Did they? Or what someone else's experience has been with this. Whether you're a foster parent, met your foster parents, or if anyone out there may be feeling similar things? I'm curious mainly...
