[quote=Anonymous]I was adopted and I really wish my adoptive parents hadn't adopted me. I would have been better off in an orphanage or foster homes. My adoptive dad was a horrible person. I was physically, emotionally and sexually abused by him. My adoptive mother knew what was going on and never did anything about it. As an adult I look back and think wow I really hated my childhood. I really wish things had gone differently. I have been through tons of therapy. I started therapy at 18 when I was able to obtain it on my own since of course my adoptive parents weren't going to provide it for me. Even with 12 years of therapy I have never gotten over what they did to me and probably never will. I am about to be married in July and my fiance and I have often thought that we would love to adopt a child but I am so worried that I won't be a good parent because I have so much baggage thanks to my adoptive parents. I love children and currently work as a nanny and love my child. Every day I think about how much I would love to have a child/children of my own and every day I think about how I don't wan to be the kind of parents my adoptive parents were. Most people think that it's strange that I had such a terrible experience but yet want to adopt a child. Maybe it is strange but it doesn't stop me from wanting to provide the loving and supportive home for a child that I never had. I am hoping to have a bio child as well but I have some female issues that may prevent that dream from coming true but either way I am fairly certain I will adopt regardless of whether I am able to have a bio child or not.
