Adoption loss of 4 1/2 and 3 year hoary boys...does the twinge ever be in motion away?
We adopted a newborn baby boy in 1997. His mother get pregnant again and the agency asked us if we wanted our sons brother in 1999, as the birth Mother hoped they could stay together. We gladly said yes!
In 2001, we be contacted and told the birth father was filing a jurisdiction claim to our children as he was never told they existed, never signed his rights over and looked-for his children back.
As it turns out, he and the birth Mother had gotten married, were in a minute expecting twins and wanted their first two children back. It was their permitted loop hole!
After 12 months of fighting and the most costly, vicious battle you could ever imagine - we lost our boys. At the ages of 4 1/2 and 3 years prehistoric, we were forced to hand them over to their biological parents. There was no transition, no nought. Long story short, there were many miscarriages of equality and an inept agency, but we had our hearts ripped out by the core on January 2, 2002.
Today is my sons 10th birthday. The only information we get beyond the first year (during which we were simply told they were "adjusting and contained by counseling") after going back is through the private investigators who we hire to check in on them.
Sadly - though they live in a nice house - their lives hold been one tragedy after another.
One of their twin brothers died when they were 7 and 5, their home has burned down, their Mother have severe health issues, they have moved and all around have to deal with more than any children should, The oldest has be diagnosed with aspergers syndrome...it is h=gut wrenching.
I want to know if it ever gets easier. I want to know if a day will walk by that I couldn't throw up and sob if I allow myself to think about them. My very elderly Gradmother thought she be being nice and sent me a picture of me holding the oldest the day he came home and it cut me to my core.
We own hugged and cried and screamed and loved and hated each other...we own grown closer and further apart and closer again and its not that life has not gone on...much to our surprise we had a biological babe-in-arms of our own 18 months after we lost the boys, and have spent the last 6 years trying for another, but it all in recent times rips my heart out. We want another child more than air to breath, but we could never adopt again. I treasure every day with my son and I believe he is the with the sole purpose reason I continued to put one foot in front of the other...
Do my boys still remember me? Do they miss me or do children move on? I know they be babies in the grans scheme of the world!
I wont go on forever, but when I hear that the birth mother had unexpectedly lost one of her twins when he was 2, I died for my boys loosing a brother, but I thought it served that * right to know what it felt approaching to have a baby ripped from her arms...the baby she loved and nurtured and held close. Does that generate me a horrible person?
Does the gut wrenching pain ever go away completely?
Probably not. It's giving of what most first parents go through all the time. Im pretty skeptical of your story. What kind of mother would right to be heard the things you have said?
"I died for my boys loosing a brother, but I thought it served that * right to know what it felt like to hold a baby ripped from her arms...the baby she loved and nurtured and held close. Does that make me a horrible individual?"
Yeah. Pretty much, it does make you a horrible person. You asked. These children were never reasonably yours, so stop calling them your children. If they do come back to say hi, please tell them what you said going on for their brother dying. Im sure to them, it will solidify the court's decision to give them back to their actual parents. Source(s): being adopted and disgusted by your words
I'm sorry for your loss, However I feel the same way when, My own mom ripped my daughter out of my arms and gave her to a Co. I know nothing about. Be grateful you have the 1 child. I own nothing and never will.
Answers: They be your children, I doubt the pain will never go away I'm sorry to say.
And so frequent wonder why we chose international adoption. Stories just like this is why we chose to go out of country.
Im sorry for your loss and feel like you have no blame and in that is no double standard on your part. Adoption has been a long trusted and long standing institution contained by our country. You were not an adoption lawyer and therefore where on earth not and are not required to know all the in and outs and loopholes, that is why we own adoption agencies and professionals that are supposed to take care of the legal matter, that is why you have to pay so much to adopt, you retribution for lawyer, and legalities. The people who are at fault for sure are the birth mother for not disclosing the proper information, although contained by some states it is not required to release the fathers information. And you cant tell me in adjectives honesty that the birth father was not aware he had children out there.. I don`t know in the begining he didnt know, but to have married the birth mother and then want them rear legs.. to me sounds like they knowingly gave them up for a time so they could carry on their feet and when they were ready required them back. IM sorry that you put in those years of loving and providing and caring for them to hold them taken, and sadly to say i bet that even if the bio parents get their kids fund you still dont get any money you spent in the adoption process back. Sad

of course, it is just for 'birthers' and your agony is probably much worse than theirs as you REALLY loved "your" kids.
As for having only 8 more years to go? Are you still drinking the adoption koolaid that say upon reunion everything will be magically "fixed?" Source(s): gave birth - lost my only child to adoption.
good luck!
It sucks to have to wear the other shoe doesn't it?
The emotion you are feeling are the exact same ones their natural father would have be feeling before he regained custody of his children. What guidance would you have given him or their mother? Take that same advice yourself. Source(s): Lovin the double standard... I just grasp told to get over it and move on.
I didn't know it was even legal to put a child up for adoption short the parental consent of both parents...I'd look into it more in depth with state and federal law. Plus, if he didn't know they existed I would dream of the courts would have a blood test to prove he was the father up to that time just handing the kdis over. My reason for believing this is, surrounded by NY-you must provide the mother and father's name on any and all adoption, paternity, custody, gaurdianship, ext cases. There's is NO exception. If what the agency did was wicked, oh pain and suffering I would slap the hell out of them for what heart ache they caused! If you honestly get the impression your children are in danger, CPS will need to investigate.
And despondently no, this pain will be with you until you know they are safe or put money on home with you or old enough to contact you. These are your children, you loved them and you raise them.
wow. I'm so sorry for you. What a nightmare :( I can't believe how I'd ever cope with something like that.
I blame the agency for being so frightful at their jobs that they didn't locate the father and do the appropriate steps to get consent from him (or not) based on the decree.
How sad.
Edit: Our agency said that there was due process you could run through if the father could be located (putting a notice in the paper and what not) such that if you do as much as the statute requires and no father comes forward, he is considered to have forefitted his rights. I guess that differs from state to state, though. :(
