#ToChoose Journey

#bornandmade 

I made a post a week or so ago on my facebook page about being adopted and how I was going to make more of an effort to find my biological parents in the upcoming years. 

I shared with my children a long time ago that I was adopted and the story of how I found out and some of the "family rumors" I've come across now that I'm an adult. They have always had a lot of unanswerable questions. I have thought and prayed about taking this journey several times and I've even made some baby steps to find out, but I've never followed through. 

I have a grandson now and for his benefit and the benefit of my children, I am going to attempt to find my biological parents. 

The other reason for this is for my own identity. Not that I'm not confident in who I am already, because anyone that KNOWS me knows I don't lack in that area AT ALL. But for example, Lisa Price, the founder of Carol's Daughter, has started the #bornandmade campain (#bornandmade). As you can see in the photo above, you state your name, city you were born in, what you were made of, and whose daughter you are... well guess what?! I ran into a small snag here.

I am at a point in my life where I am starting to be COMPLETELY honest with myself about what makes me happy, what makes me unhappy, what pisses me off, who I am, etc. And yes I love my parents, Gary & Constance, I still need to know where I truly come from. I love the concept of Lisa Price's campaign, however it has me in an awkward place with myself and actually being able to support the movement because I don't honestly feel I can when to an extent, I don't know WHO I AM.
