Starting Over...
It's been a while since I've been on here, so I've decided to resurrect this journal. There are only a few people who have the link to this journal, so I can use it to safely vent out some of my very complicated emotions.
I am adopted - I was adopted at birth - and I've been in reunion with my birth family for a little over a year, now. Memorial Day weekend was the one-year anniversary of meeting my brother and sisters in person for the first time. Since then, some very raw emotions of mine have surfaced; feelings I've carried with me ever since I can remember but have lain dormant for many years. I decided I needed a safer place than my Xanga to release a lot of these feelings, since my family reads my Xanga, and I'm not yet ready to open up to them about most of this.
Feel free to friend me if you'd like, but please know beforehand that I will not stand for anyone belittling or criticizing my personal feelings. Adoption is a sensitive issue for many, and I'd rather you keep your opinions to yourself unless you wish to offer genuine support. This journal probably won't focus entirely on my adoption experience, but it will be a major theme in many of my posts. Just thought I'd warn potential readers before hand.
