Recently I have been finding more and more out about my adoption. I received some papers yesterday that were from the adoption. Some were memos from layers to my adoptive parents, others were reviews of my adoptive parents, but one in particular was very interesting to me. It was a document that my birth mother had written. A lot of it was some family medical history and stuff, but other parts were about her and her life.
From this document I learned that my birth mother and I were alike in several ways. We both played softball and basketball. She actually had an athletic scholarship to college! Granted I had to stop playing sports the summer after my freshman year because of knee problems, we both played and loved b-ball and softball :D Another similarity is that we both love to read!! Reading has been one of my favorite past times since I was little. We both also have worn braces at some point growing up.
All of this information is very special to me and it is causing me to think more and more about looking for my birth mother. One of the questions on the form that I have from her asked if she ever wanted to be contacted by me once I was an adult and she said yes :D It is a big step, but it is something that I have been thinking and praying about for awhile. Please pray that God shows me what path to take and that I listen to him and do things on his terms and not my own.
