I'm adopted

[mytmouse]

I was adopted as an infant and I've known for quite a while but I still struggle with many feelings about it. My adoptive family is great but sometimes I think my mom favors my brother because he isn't adopted. Deep down I doubt it's true and sometimes I say mean things to my mom about it when I 'm in trouble. I don't talk about this with my friends because I think unless you are adopted you can't understand how I feel and the questions I have. I know only a little about my biological mother but I really don't know my family medical history or much else. I'm embarrassed about it at times and often feel alone and curious about so many things. I would love to try to find my bio mom but scared at the same time. I'm not really sure why I'm posting this but I guess I'm feeling lonely today and felt like venting a little. I could go on and on but I guess I'll stop here for now. Thanks for reading though.

I think that you need to tell your adopted family how you feel if you really feel like you are being treated differently. But do it when your not angry. And I am sure they will be happy to talk to you about it.

I think you should try and find out who your biological mother is. But remember that is a door that once opened you cannot close. You can find almost anyone these days on Facebook and the internet. So see if you can find out her name. I would probably do this later on in life as it might be difficult at 15 to deal with "rejection" if your biological mother does not want to have anything to do with you.

Best thing is to consult your whole family when everyone is getting along fine, perhaps at dinner if your family typically talks then. After that I think you would be better able to not only understand their point of view, but also make a better decision about if you want to meet your biological family.
