Should An Adopted Child Be Able To Contact Their Biological Parents?
The real question for adopted children these years is weather or not the adopted children should be able to contact their biological parents. Every child’s case is different so it’s kind of hard to decide weather or not it’s a good idea or even safe for the child to know or meet their biological parents.

If it wasn’t for my grandma I don’t know where I would be right now, I could have been one of the children that end up in foster care and switch homes every few months or even weeks. Being adopted has not been that emotional till recently. My mom just entered my life for the first time. I have never met my mom nor talked to her. I just started talking to her about two years ago. The first time we talked over the phone is was very emotion we were both crying not knowing what to say. Most of all I was confused I was not sure weather or not I could ever forgive her for everything she has done to me. I have always hated talking about being adopted, my grandma would always try and ask me all these questions like weather I want to go see her in Florida or not, or if I want to talk to her. I would always change the conversation, for some reason it was uncomfortable for me because I never had a real mom
