    Well, you can create a blog.

    You can join any number of adoption sites.

    You can join an adoptee support group.

    You can write a book and find a publisher.

    There are TONS of ways you can write your story, honestly.

    Were you looking for something more specific?

    I certainly have lots to talk about, as far as my adoption story goes, I have no clue how to blog, but yeah, that sounds like a starting point, as well as writing a story. Do you know specific sites, that I could use... Thanks for your help.

    You an set up a very easy and free web site and blog at

    Weebly - Create a free website and a free blog


    I will add that the adoptive parents feeling hurt and betrayed if you go looking or start a relationship with the birth parents is very common, just not talked about a lot, everyone wants the loving happy ending to show on TV

    And often the meeting with the bio parents go very badly also.

    Well true, but here's the catch, I just want to write out my whole life story, I lived with my adoptive mom for 15 yrs, it was her first cousin that gave me to my adoptive mom, they hate each other, which hate is a strong word, but can be used in this situation, I grew up with brothers and sisters, and later met my bio mother, lived with her, for a while, then was sent on my way to life as I knew it, there is a series of events that occurred and I haven't even mention my fathers, or my other brothers and sisters, my life has been totally crazy, and well, if I could write about it, it would just be great!! I do not want my own site, I just want to write, mainly to see if I relate to anyone, or can encourage anyone with how strong I have been. My relationship with both sides of the families have been anything but normal, and honestly it was the most drama for me, when I met my birth mother, sisters, brother, as well as my birth father, honestly I am blessed to have these experiences, and they make me who I am today, and I'm glad god has given me the chance to met my birth parents, it would drive me crazy if I didn't e I know where I came from, it is a tangles web though, I'm just looking for help on where to talk about my adoption, and where it had taken me in life... Thanks so much for your help!

    Live Journal has a great free blogging site as well. I don't have the link here, but you can Google them to get it.
