My adoptive parents have always tried to get me as much information on my birth parents as they could. They have been so supportive and caring. When I was a baby I had a hamangiona &lt;em&gt;[spelling]&lt;/em&gt; under my eye the caused me to look like I had a black eye all the time. It was huge and it made me partly blind in my left eye. When I was two I got it removed, if I had been with my birth parents during that time I would have not been able to get it removed because they wouldn't have had the money to pay for the surgery.&lt;br /&gt;A question that I get asked a whole lot is, do you ever wish you lived with your birth parents?&lt;br /&gt;As much as I love both of my birth parents the answer would have to be no. My parents are the two people who have always been there for me ever since I was one month old.&lt;br /&gt;I met my birth mother when I was 13 years old and now I am 15. I am hoping to meet my birth dad next month but since he lives in Alabama it makes its harder.&lt;br /&gt;I love being adopted. I have grown-up a &lt;strong&gt;whole&lt;/strong&gt; lot faster than any of my friends.&lt;br /&gt;I guess I will write more tomorrow I'm tierd so I guess I'm going to bed.&lt;br /&gt;love,&lt;br /&gt;margaret elizabeth&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6640198383531778969-1470083357774181362?l=margaretelizabeth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://margaretelizabeth.blogspot.com/feeds/1470083357774181362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6640198383531778969&amp;postID=1470083357774181362' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6640198383531778969/posts/default/1470083357774181362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6640198383531778969/posts/default/1470083357774181362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://margaretelizabeth.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-adoption-story.html' title='My Adoption Story...'/><author><name>Margaret_Elizabeth</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15617281232488106124</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
