Imagine

by JR

Imagine finding out your mom and dad weren't really your parents.~

Imagine wondering all your life where you came from, who your parents are,and what nationalities you might be...~

Imagine growing up not being able to complete a medical form at yourDoctor's office, instead having to write N/A.~

Imagine in school, not being able to honestly do a family tree report.~

Imagine your friends asking you why your mom gave you away?~

Imagine feeling like your birth certificate is a lie, you have no access toit, and you are made to feel like a criminal when asking to see it.~

Imagine all your life searching through crowds wondering if you are related toone of those faces.~

Imagine your parents getting upset and angry when you bring up the subjectof your adoption.~

Imagine the pure joy of hearing your Birth Mom's voice on the telephone forthe 1st time and recognizing how similar it is to your own!~

Imagine finding out you have new brothers, sisters,aunts, uncles andgrandparents!~

Imagine hearing your beautiful birth-name for the 1st time!~

Imagine never meeting your Birth Father and finding out you searched toolate as he has passed away.~

Imagine meeting and hugging the woman who gave you life for the 1st (wellactually 2nd!) time~

Imagine trying to process all this new information and trying to integrateyour two identiyies.~

Imagine going through therapy to try and make all the puzzle pieces fit andto put your life back together~

Imagine finally feeling like the circle is complete, you have 2 families tolove and spend your life with; a fresh beginning, a new start with endlesspossibilities and new sunny horizons!!~
