Yes, as a matter of fact, more than you'll ever know.

My wife gave a child up when she was 15, and she thinks of him every day, and sends presents to the lawyer of the adoptive family for his birthday. She is waiting for him to find her on the birth parent location website.

20 years ago this april i was adopted and i had ab outreach to my bio mother and she didn't wanna meet me... i've never been more heart broken in my life till i found out my bio dad wants to meet me and we can never meet until my bio mom signs the papers which she never will... so i'll never know if any one thinks about me every day or even at all...

My son was adopted, and even with an open adoption I think about him every day. Both of his adoptive parents were themselves adopted as infants, so they understood that having birth family in his life wasn't a bad thing. She's found her birth family and things are good, he hasn't looked and is happy that way. Our son is happy having so many people to love and care for him. If you want to know your first family, start looking. When you find them, write a letter. Be prepared just in case whoever you find doesn't want contact, but I'd bet that almost all parents want to find out how their kids are doing.

I'm adopted, and honestly, if you had good adopted parents, just be glad that you were adopted above all else. Be thankful your biological parents thought enough of you to give you a chance for a better life than they could provide. All that said, if you've got the money, try to find them. This is the information age, after all.

Birth parents don't ever forget the child they gave up for adoption,it hurts so bad sometimes I felt like committing suicide.It has been 23 years and I'm searching all over the internet for my adopted son.I never forget his birthday,the way he stopped crying when I picked him up and held him(in the hospital) and when the adoption lady took him out of my arms,he cried,I took him back quick and he stopped.I hope he's had a good life,and I hope to one day find him.I still love him,even now.

They think of you often, but don't discount the parents who raised you. Anyone can give birth, but it takes a lot to be a mom.

I had a child taken away from me, against my will and he was adopted. I died inside from this! I think of him daily. Adoption does not always happen for the same reason, maybe they did not have a choice. Find them and you will find out how much they love you and miss you! I am sure it is a lot. They are probably looking for you, it is hard to find your child and the system will not help the birth parents to do this! Place an online ad asking for someone who knows anything and give the location and date of birth in that ad!

I was adopted by my birth mothers aunt at the age of 6 mos. My adopted Mom was the greatest and I miss her very much,,,,My Dad also. I still need to know about my real parents for health reasons. I too wonder if they even think of me.

Your birth mother thinks of you and loves every day, that is why she did such a unselfish thing as to give you to a couple that would love you and who could afford to give you a good life. My mother gave a child away years before i was born and we found him just 18 months ago, he live less than an hour away and come to find out lived less than a mile away from my mother for years, so look around she may be near.

That's natural. Yes, she thinks about you all the time and knew it was the best choice given the siuation, sweety.

The state of Chicago is trying to adopt out my sister despite her having 8 very loving adult brothers and sisters. The problem, they say, we don't live in Chicago. But we LOVE her and we will ALWAYS love her. If she is adopted out in a closed adoption, they can change her birth certificate and it will be nearly impossible to find her. She is 1 years old. She looks just like me and my little girl - we love her so much. It feels like she is being kidnapped. So, I bet your mother & father think of you EVERY DAY and maybe even your brothers and sisters. Some brothers were reunited after 80 years in Chicago - PRAY and maybe you will find each other.

Oh, and I was told, even if I move to Chicago, that the foster parents will still have priority over all of her blood relatives. Chicago is not the safest place, I live in a nice place by a park, beach, & fishing area - family friendly, with a great church so I do not want to relocate there. This situation has caused loss sleep and lost weight and lots of tears & phone calls to lawyers, non-profits, etc. Many times young girls are pressured to give up there babies too and in the case of Chicago, if you don't live there, apparently, you don't "completely" count as family. REALLY SAD.

thumbs down...they gave you up. for get them. they were just a way the people who reared and loved you were able to do so.

Being both a person who was adopted as well as one who placed a baby for adoption. i can relate to how you feel and I can tell you if she is anything like me Than she thinks about you a LOT At least every day and even more on birthdays and holidays and days when you would be doing those special things in life first day of school etc. We never stopp thinking of you BUT we know that what we done was done so that you could have the Very Best. i have since reunited with my daughter and she is a wonderful young lady a Great Mother and wife and has a great career Those are all things she would not likely had become if i had tried to raise her alone with no help at a young age. I made the best choice and she agrees

my girlfriend had an abortion once and I think about what would have been everyday. I bet all of the above is true.

I gave up My first son at birth when I was the young age of 13. I think of him constantly. not a day goes by that I don't think of him. Not only me, but my now 16yo son wonders of his older brother and would love to know him. Have peace in your heart, you are loved and thought of often.

I gave a child up for adoption in 1991. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him, miss him and want to hug him. I love him dearly. However, I made the best decision for him at the time. He knows who I am, we have talked several times, even exchanged photos through the mail.

sometimes the fantasy of finding your birth mother is greater than the reality. I met my birth mother and was highly disappointed when she told me she never loved me. Some people are just cruel and don't deserve the "mother" title.
Remove this stupid comment

Finding birth parents is every adopted kids dream/fantasy.We all do it.If you had good parents you are lucky and should be forever grateful. They are special people. Focus on what you have and who you are instead of day dreaming of what might have been. Some stones are best left unturned.

I'm sure they think of you most every day.

You never leave their mind.

I think about you and pray for your well being daily. I hope you have a better life than your Mother and I could have given you as young teens. You would be in your forties now and I wonder if you ever had kids and I might be a grandfather. God Bless You!! Know that you are always loved by your Mother and me.

I'm also adopted and I ask myself that same question everyday. Do they even care? Have they ever thought about/tried to find me? What would I do if they did? The day I was born my birth mother gave me and my two older sister up for adoption so I sometimes feel like it was my fault they're not still with her. It's not that easy to just decide one day you want to find them, we have to consider the fact that they might not want us to find them. I just remind myself that my "mother" is the woman who raised me and I had a great childhood. In the end, that's all that really matters.

Find them. I too am adopted. I found my birthmother and was reunited. She said she thought about me everday.

every day. I gave my daughter up for adoption, 4 years ago...And I think about her all the time.

Your parents are the ones who adopted you. Your birth parents might think of you, but what does it matter? They're just the flesh which spat you into this world not the love which nurtured you.

I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that not a day goes by that they don't think about you. And if your belief system includes an afterlife, you will see them there.

On Aug 19, 1980 I signed adoption papers for the baby boy that I had by c-section on Aug 15th, 1980. Not a day has gone by that I have not thought of him. I visit the agency every year on his birthday hoping for some information on him. I hope and pray that he contacts me one day. I also hope and pray that i did the right thing.

Over 38 years ago my wife gave up an infant daughter to adoption. She was never forgotten. After posting information on a search web site about 2-3 years ago she was found recently because she was looking as well. Now a grown woman, she is established as a nurse with her own daughter and son. A much anticipated reunion will take place next month now with not only a daughter but grandchildren as well. Your parents think of you very often. If your wish is to find them, follow your heart and you will succeed. Good Luck.
