Today, I tried to contact my birth mother, who abandoned me when I was three weeks old. After months of tracing, I finally plucked up the courage to call her. She told me to "f*ck off and die". FML

Today, I found the phone number of my biological mother after years of searching for her, and gave her a call. I introduced myself by name and said, "I'm your daughter." There was a pause at the other end, followed by, "The one I aborted or the one I gave away?" FML
Today, I talked to my birth mother for the first time in over 26 years. Five minutes into our conversation, I remembered why I stayed away. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house after escaping my abusive relationship. My mom scoffed and said, “This is what happens when you move out, barely graduated high school, with a bum.” When I told her I was 3 months pregnant, she said, “And a child out of wedlock? You’re a lost case!” and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML
Today, I ran into my aunt I hadn’t seen since I was a child. My mom told me she took off and stopped speaking to everyone. After lunch, I asked her why she left. She said our whole family ostracized her for aborting her abusive husband’s baby and divorcing him instead of "making it work." FML
Today, I summoned the courage to call my abusive mother-in-law about her non-payment of the money I stupidly lent her last year. She replied, "Why don't you go deepthroat a cactus, then we'll talk about it, cunt." and then hung up on me. FML
Today, I finally located all seven of my younger siblings, who I abandoned to foster care when I was 15, after our parents were deported back to Mexico. Each and every one of them told me to fuck off. FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. FML
Today, I located my birth dad and asked him why I was put into care. Turns out my mom died, and since he hadn’t wanted me in the first place, he just gave me away and hoped to never see me again. He didn’t even invite me in, he threw a beer at me and threatened to call the cops unless I left. FML
Today, I tracked down my long-lost daughter after losing her to foster care 26 years ago when I was on drugs. I knocked on her door and introduced myself, going in for a hug. She maced me and physically kicked me back into the hall, threatening a restraining order if I ever spoke to her again, and slammed the door. FML

Well, consider yourself lucky that she didn't raise you.

You said she abandoned you? If she abandoned you, not just gave you up, but ABANDONED you, then why did you even want to find her? I guess I can understand the morbid curiosity and wanting to meet your biological mother, but are you really surprised at her response if she ABANDONED you? That really really sucks for you, and I'm sorry, but you kinda walked right into that one.

I am so sad for you. :'( If I could I would give you a big hug right now. Like #1 said, at least you weren't raised by her. She's probably miserable and alone. Live an amazing life and be glad you didn't have that bitch as a mother.

OP you should be glad that you aren't associating yourself with her. If she abandoned you, then she mustn't have cared about you. If she did, she would at least put you up for adoption where the proper care could be taken for you when you were young. Of course most people who don't know their biological parents WANT to know them, but sadly there are many parents out there who don't want to know their children. FYL op. :(

Adoptees like the OP are selfish to the extreme. The woman who gave you up, gave you up for a reason. You may have been the product of a rape, or incest. Unless both parties agree to contact the birth mother's wishes should be respected. The only rights you should have is to basic medical background information.

How would the OP know that? How does that make them selfish? How is being a product of rape or incest, had the OP known, suppose to make him/her not want to know at least about the maternal side of their lineage?

39- just stfu

39 is obviously just a piece of world-class shit. I think most people would want to know the woman who carried them for 9 months and gave birth to them.

I know that it was the mom's money! My god, pay attention. My entire point was that she shouldn't have given her the money in the first place. I should have said it better, I'll admit. But you should listen better.

^^^ sorry about that. I'm on my iPod and I thought I'd copied and pasted the comment that didn't go through... what I meant to say is: Dear #39, I'm adopted, and if you ever say something like that again, I will impale you with a flagpole, chop off your penis, and stick it to your nose. With love, Sam
