I found out completely by accident that I was adopted. I was about 11 or 12 and found the court documents with my date of birth with the name "Karen" further on I saw that my name had been legally changed to Andrea Michelle. Over the years of me asking for information pertaining to it, no one would speak of it. I have always been told, they are your parents so nothing else matters. Out of respect for my parents, I never asked them about it because to them it was a very touchy subject.
They along with my stepsister, have since passed and I feel the need to have closure. I started asking family members again about a year ago, to be met with the same thing. nothing. Those that have information either refuse to discuss it, or too old to recall. Two of my cousins finally decided to give me what little information they had. I am inclined to believe it because they told the same exact story at different times.
They both told me that my father was really my birth father and due to an affair he had, I was born. My mother couldn't have children, so i guess it was decided to adopt me. No one knows who my birth mother is, or what she looks like. Her name was never spoken. The reason I can believe this story is because that was how my stepsister ended up with the family. She is 25 years older than me. Her story was that he had been seeing someone in Alabama she was pregnant and he told her mother that because he was in the Army he could give her a better life. She was fortunate though that she knew her mother and siblings. All I know about my birth parents is that one is Baptist and the other Roman Catholic. Assuming my dad is the one that is Baptist since we would go to church together. Any one that knows anything at all I would appreciate it or the agency that handled the adoption was Henry Watson Children's aid Society
