As a Child Did You Ever Wish You had Been Placed For Adoption?

I did wish that I had been adopted when I was a child.

Physical and emotional abuse through childhood and emotional abuse into adulthood.

I wasn't able to trust what others said and so probably any other family would have been no worse than my own.

I wished it through my entire childhood and occasionally into adulthood.

I didn't just wake up to it. I was thinking it as long as I can remember.

I do love my family and I know that in their own way that they love me. We are reconnecting now and trying to move forward. I realize that because of the way that I was treated and how I was raised, I turned out the way that I am today. I discovered parenting classes and that helped me greatly. I beat the cycle of abuse and raised my 3 kids with love and without abuse. I was not afraid to discipline I just refused to be my parents.

i think i've wished it for a long time and i'm 34 and still wish it , i tell my husband all the time,i wish we could buy a new family mine really suck, i'm the only kid they had that is strong and moral the other two are pot heads with kids, ithink any other family would do, i like family that's why i have 6 kids of my own and 2 step-children, all's we have is us my husband and my children and his mom is 76 ,my family we don't talk to , too much drama , always has something going on like one of my sisters kids being taken by the state,,, just not good people ,,,,,,,thats why i want a new family a family that acts a little more normal.

I think everyone goes through that. Me because my dads wife hated me. I had wanted my bfs family to adopt me. This was till I was 12 and moved in with my Grandma cuz my dads wife was so mean. I never just woke up and felt this way. I just started hating where I was. Now I'm married with my own family and realise that those life experiences make me who I am today so I guess the answer to the last question is no. I love who I am today and wouldnt take it back.

I was in foster care half of my childhood life and had real tough life.I don't wish foster or adoption care on anyone.Sometimes is good and sometimes is a nightmare.

We can't pick and choose our familys but..We can choose our friends.

I paid my own way to school and worked real hard to give a normal life to my own kid.Something I did not have.

People forget about foster/adpotion and forget that when you wish for a family you get NOTHING.

my family isn't the best to b around. they r sometimes abusive{mostly my older brother} parents don't care what happens to any of the kids.im taking care of my 3 siblings basically the only thing my parents do is bring in money but i do all the other things. i love my bffs family they r wonderful they talk everything out and actually care what goes on in the family.

since i was about 5 Ive wanted a different family. nope i saw my dad and mom arguing everyday and then went to stay with my bff and realized tha my family wasnt natural. it may seem sad r untrue but i dont care about my parents but if anything happened to my lil sibs. my would would stop....

I believe once upon I time I wanted to be adopted by someone else, hell even dead. My family was abusive, and to this day we don't talk and they stay 2 houses away.

never in my life have i wish that.i always use to wish that my mom and dad was still together and they could have rasied me and my brothers not because my life was bad because it was far from it our grandmother took damn good care of us.i just wanted to see how it feel to have two loving parents in the same household loving me.

lol I was adopted. it all turned out fine.
