Do you ever feel that your adoption has shaped the life of your birth family? i often think about how things would be if my mother had not got pregnant with me.. at age 17 she was preparing to go into the Peace Corp,when she fell pregnant and everything changed after my adoption.she basically went on a route of getting married/divorced,with different men.of course this is not my fault,lol,but i often wonder what path her life would have taken if she had entered the peacecorp,and how her relationship with her kids would have been.she told me that once she gave me up,nothing mattered anymore,not even her further 2 kidswho she felt too guilty to hug/kiss as she could not hug me.i just wondered how other reunited adoptees think,and if they have had similar experiences?
