I was lied to about my adoption over 30 years ago.?

i was always told that i was adopted but some of the details were off ..with the help of my husband we have put information that is contradicting what i was first told. my adoptive parents told me was my dad never showed up to fight for me they didnt tell me they went to his house when i was one month old with cps or legal and just took me to live with them, my father never showed up because he didnt know what had happened or where i was. if this is the case since i technically was kidnapped by all rights is the adoption legal. i feel he coulnt find me because my name was changed and taken to a new city. he didnt have alot of money this was back in the 1970's if he coulnt find me how would he show up to fight,. it took my parents 3 years to finalize the adoption they said they were worried i would be taken from them at any moment .. my husband is the one that really got the ball rolling on this. i didnt want to dig about this always afraid that something would come out.

Wow, that is horrible, I am really sorry that happen to you. You have everyy right to be upset but really what can you do, did the people that raised you raise you good, did you have good childhood? I mean what is it that you want to happen, do you want your adoptive parents to get into trouble? What would be the point of contacting an attorney? What's done is done, try getting in touch with the rest of your family and get to know them, you wont have time to do all that if you are dealing with legal matters.

I do not know what to say but I am very sorry this happened to you.

I think I know what YOUR Question is What if I was kidnapped? Am I able to file charges? I think I would check every path out first to see if you have any legal standing Because back 30 yrs ago it was hard for parents that had kids out of wedlock to raise them I am not saying you were from that kind of family I think finding out from
Where you were born? County ,State and see if you can come up with a Geneology person in your area that may help you to find out the answers to what you are looking for I know it has got to be so difficult without knowing But If you were raised good Dont question it Just tell your adopted parents what you want To find out medical history If a relationship forms with the biological family so be it Doesnt mean that YOUR adopted Parents treated you wrong They may even help you to find out the answers.....YOU can email me if youd like and maybe I could help you out with something Thanks for listening to me


Still Me
My experience with these situations is that birthparents usually have VERY GOOD reasons for placing a child for adoption, letting a child go, or not fighting for a child. Sometimes it is bordering on disrespectful (although understandable!) to dig so deep into something that someone obviously wanted to remain more distant or private. Birthparents love their children and act out of love when they give them over to some else to raise. Yes, all medical info should be exchanged. Everyone has a right to know that. And we all have a right no know the details of our conception and birth, etc. But I don't think most of us necessarily know all these details even if we were not adopted. We know what we were told. Maybe my mom was not exactly in love with my dad like she was when she had my older brothers, but then maybe I don't really want to know that. Maybe I wasn't planned and my mother was depressed when she had me. But maybe I don't need to know that. See?
