Will be 47 years tomorrow, my parents adopted me making it final and glad they did. My bio mom gave me up for adoption after she gave birth to me at age 14. Knew she was way too young to raise a child. It was 2 weeks after I was born in December of 1978, they came into my life. Mom saw a beautiful little girl holding me and dad went with her choice. They had two sons whom are my brothers to this day and she wanted a daughter. She could not get pregnant anymore. My brothers were 8 and 6 at time I was adopted and they were good about having a sister. They shown me love and a better life which they have been there for during my hard times. My brothers whom 55 and 53 now, we co own a towing yard together taking over since dad retired 5 years ago working together. I did try to find my bio parents finding out they were both deceased. Dad died in 1987 in an logging accident and mom died in a car accident in 1993. I keep in touch with their families and I got my answers from them
