I was born in Harrisburg‚ PA. It was a closed adoption. I have wonderful parents and am initially interested in getting more information on the health history of my birth parents and my ethnic background. Plus I would love to know how they are doing and if they are happy as me in life :) I have dark brown/black hair and brown eyes. I was born with a small birthmark in my left lower leg (inside side of my calf) and a small little growth on my scalp that wasn’t a concern. My birth mother gave me my first outfit and a special pin. If this is her she will know the color and what I’m referring too. My hair is full‚ curly and I’m an athletic body type. In fact I was an All-American athlete in college and growing up turned from tomboy to homecoming queen‚ class president and a volunteer at my church. My parents call me high-energy Jenny‚ but I do find calmness when I’m around family and I’ve always enjoyed the company of my elders and being around kids. I’m very social‚ but do like being able to relax on my own doing things like gardening‚ word games‚ trivia and things that feed my brain like educational podcasts - no matter the topic. I feel blessed that my birth parents choose to give me the gift of a family and placed me with my parents. In fact I have two brothers who were adopted from other families and lots of cousins who were adopted. We are a great mix of cultures and believe it was all meant to be this way. :) I certainly respect the privacy of my birth parents and would never want to intrude on their lives. But if any information on my biological family history could be shared I would appreciate it. Plus I want to be able to thank them for giving me the best gift ever- my family. I am open to getting to know my birth parents‚ but again I wouldn’t ever want to invade their privacy. I have loved them my whole life‚ because they gave me life and my family have always said my birth parents are to be thanked daily - even though we don’t know who they are. If they don’t want to connect‚ I will truly respect that. I am a happy and blessed person because of them and don’t want for anything in life. But I would value knowing more and am open to knowing more about them if they want to. :) And yes‚ of course my parents are in agreement. As an adult now‚ who is married and seeking adoption as a first choice to grow our family‚ it seems natural to see if my birthparents want to connect in anyway they want. Thank you for considering to communicate with me. I will never be hurt or offended if you don’t want to. But please know‚ I’m so lucky and blessed. Thank you and my outreach isn’t because I feel a gap in my life…it’s a combination of curiosity around my health history and ethnicity‚ wanting to share my forever gratitude and maybe in some small way find a way to connect to those gave me life without disrupting their lives and maybe meeting biological family who kinda look like me and maybe have similar personalities. I know that might sound corny or irrelevant as it doesn’t matter really matter - I’ve never questioned that growing up - but as an adult now‚ I have to admit I would find value in that. It would really be awesome to know more. But again‚ just to repeat and be clear…there is no gap in my life‚ I’m such a blessed and happy person. I am so grateful and I hope me reaching out only comes across in the way it was meant - just wanting to know more about people I’ve loved my whole life without knowing them. Whatever happens‚ it’s still great to me…I was loved enough to be gifted a family and loved again enough to be taken in by my family. :)
