Diary of an Adoptee
Searching for my birth family
Archives
| Emma is an 39 year old English woman who was adopted at 8 weeks old. She has decided to search for her birth mother in the hope of meeting her. This is a diary of her experiences that she's been writing for Adoptedlife. She wrote a lot before we started putting it on the site so the entries are backdated. |

Your feedback about this diary and your own
experiences are very welcome. If you are adopted and things
here ring true for you, or you experienced something completely
different please email me at  .
We hope to start a page of people's personal experiences so
that we can learn from each other. If you are a birth parent
or have adopted a child or are a sibling of an adoptee I would
love to hear from you too. |
