When something serious is going on or when I just have some questions I ask her, so Jessie told me about some of the stuff going on she didn’t really know how to help me. She didn’t want to say something that wasn’t right or that would be offensive, therefor she just worded what she was saying very carefully. One of the things that she said that stood out the most was when she said that maybe since she was adopted she feels like there is always something missing. My mother worked at the county for a few years before I was born and the first couple years of my life. Part of her job was dealing with some adoption stuff, I don’t really know to an exact explanation of what she did but adoption was part of her job. She had also told me that when she would get paperwork from some of the social workers about their cases, some of the adopted kids were also in the same boat as Jessie. She had said that when they were talking about why they felt that way, it was because they felt like something was missing or they felt like nobody wanted them. They had thought since they were put up for adoption meant that nobody wanted them. My mom had also said that studies had shown that depression in kids who are put up for adoption is sometimes a normal thing. Now I know four people who were adopted and two of them had depression. So when my mother had told me that maybe that’s why she had some depression issues
