This is not how I had imagined things happening. My parents told me I was adopted early in my career as a human being, I grew up knowing. There was never a moment I wished they hadn’t, or that someone else had. They were good parents,
Teachers, they covered all the bases...Vegetables…Haircuts…Homework...Bedtime. They got me started in the right direction,
Who actually gave birth to me was not on my mind all that much as a young person. My parents were normal, fair and understanding, and my life was normal in the north Jersey suburbs
In 1986 I joined the army and started my career as an adult. More frequently questions about medical history arose and I would not have biological parents to answer about, but life goes on, or it doesn’t. At this moment I’ve survived longer and healthier than I’d ever imagined doing. In later years I ended up asking more questions of myself. Am I like anyone? And then one day I recieved an answer.
"Hi Daniel. My name is Nancy B******* I apologize for telling you like this..but I am your birth mother. My grandson found you through 23 and me. I would love for you to message/text me. I totally understand if this is something you choose to not do. But I'm hoping that will not be the case. I live in Oakland California with a large extended family. BTW you have two half sisters and one half brother. So take all the time you need and think it over. Please at least let me know that you received this message. Even if it's just to send me a middle finger."
WOW!!!! The answer to my question. Here is my mother, and at the very least she appears to have a sense of humor similar to my own!! Everything is kinda alright I just want to meet her!!
BUT...Life throws you curve balls sometimes. And If you’re not looking, they can hit you!! 6 months ago, I unexpectedly lost my job. Ever since, I've been struggling to keep the electricity and the wifi on. At least I own our tiny 1-bedroom apt. so no rent troubles. But, I’ve been slacking on the monthly HOA, and other costly improvements made on my building, like aluminum siding.
Now, I am being sued, and am in danger of losing the home of my two children, myself and our cat.
If you can at all...please assist us keep our home.
Thank You From All Of Us!!!
