Personal Narrative: Bundle Of Adoption
It all started when I was in 1st grade, around the age of 7. Every night I would get home from school and me and my mom would run up to my dad and begging him and begging him for another sister. We would give him chocolates, flowers, and everything just to get him to say yes. We could feel the tension of him; always saying no. Finally after 4 months of persuading him around April or May, he finally said yes. That was probably one of the best days of our lives, we were so overly excited we couldn't hold it in. It felt like a rocket with only a few seconds left before it blew. We had to tell everyone! So my parents were looking online, then a came across a site called “Bundle of Joy”. We immediately pushed on that, scrolling through it. Then we saw one for Louisiana. We pushed on that and then showed them it. …show more content…
We came all that way for a baby that someone put up for adoption but then wanted it back. It made no sense, why would you put your baby up for adoption, not have any time to take care of it, but then take it back, just why?? After not knowing what to we sadly went back up to Ohio. After finally getting everything straight, we started looking on “Bundles of Joy” again. We were looking and looking until we saw a baby up for adoption in Jacksonville, Florida. My mom jumped up and said “no way! That's where I was born, and I have friends down there too!” We again filled out, felt like thousands of papers. Then around September we went down to Florida and stayed with my moms friends for awhile. After that it was finally the day my sister wads suppose to be born.
We went to the hospital I was then finally able to say “I’m a big sister.” I was so unbelievably excited, all I wanted to do was go in there. We got to finally go in the hospital room and finally get to see my new baby sister! We went into there and the second I laid eyes on her I was automatically filled with happiness. My mom held her, then my dad, then it was my

    If I could have one do-over in life, I would relive my sister Myra's adoption day. The adoption took place about nine years ago, when Myra and I were both five. I remember feeling extremely petulant because I was wearing a dress. I cannot blame my younger self for my actions because I didn't truly know what I was doing, but I as I look back on that day, I feel a twinge of regret, due to a typical child reaction. The pictures that were taken show my sisters, smiling and excited, and me, looking sulky and bad-tempered; in essence, I was being a brat. I regret my behavior because I'm afraid that Myra might have believed that my attitude was because I didn't want to be her sister, and that was most certainly not the case. I was having a selfish…

    The being pregnant part was actually really awesome. I was hungry all the time and got to eat pretty much anything and everything to my hearts content. I was always sleepy but best of all never did I get nauseous, which oh my gosh I was so happy for! You get to go to the doctor ALOT and the list of the things you can do is a short story compared to the novel that is the list of things you cant do. The very first feelings you feel of the baby moving feels like you have butterflies in your stomach and getting to hear the heart beat, now that is one of the best sounds in the world. I read What to Expect When You're Expecting like it was the bible. It tells you everything about the baby, their progress, what they look like at each stage and I was obsessed with it. At about five months that's when you get to find out the sex. That was the day I couldn't wait for. I wanted a girl so bad! I tried hard not to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I would love my child either way, but ever since that first day, that second line I couldn't stop thinking the word girl, girl, GIRL! I knew it, even though I told myself I didn't. My heart sank at first when the ultra sound nurse said “Do you see these three dots?” I instantly thought “okay cool its a boy, good thing I still have time to pick out a name” but as the nurse went on she said “congratulations your having a girl.” My mom who was with me just exploded into pure excitement, she had her three grandsons now the first granddaughter, and me, well I felt like I won the lottery. Picking out a name was also pretty easy seeing as how I already picked it out when I was 15, Riley, after my grandfather. I never got to meet him but I've always heard what an amazing person he was and I was in love with his name, but I had to make it its own so I decided to spell it Rylee. After that its pretty much 4 long fat months of you putting baby furniture together, buying clothes,…

    Compared to closed adoption, the prospective adoptive family would put their name on a list, and wait for the social worker to make a match. This doesn’t involve the need of personalities between families to match, just the potential factor of a good child support system which is the most important aspect. “Conversely, if they want a closed adoption, they shouldn’t be pressured into an open adoption because adopters may find it harder to fulfill their side of the agreement such as: sending the birthmother photos or visiting” (“Family Education” 2). Also, in open adoption the birthparents and adoptive parents meet, and might be in touch frequently during the pregnancy while closed adoption the adoptive parents didn't know where the child came from, or who his or her birthparents were which gives them more of sense that the child belongs to them and deserves all their love as if it was given birth by the adoptive mother. Many times the adoptive parents in an open adoption are able to witness their child's…

    The birth parents may be able to keep in touch with the family and receive letters and pictures from them. Shirley Arthur claims, “Most birth parents say that making an adoption plan was the hardest thing they ever had to do. They are comforted in knowing that their baby is having a good life and chances they could not provide. They are able to get on with their lives and continue growing and maturing.” If the mother wants to keep the adoption confidential there are closed adoptions. In her book Surviving Teen Pregnancy, Shirley Arthur describes “In a closed adoption, the birth mother might see the baby for an hour or two and then sign the adoption papers. A closed adoption means that you sign the papers releasing your baby without knowing the identity of his new family.” Adoptions are a difficult choice, but there are different choices for adoptions that may help you pick the best choice for your child.…

    Adoption for a child is not always easy, but it is the most rewarding thing a family can do. After doing this research and learning more about a child’s perspective on adoption, I feel that it is best to be completely up front with the child and let them know from day one that they were chosen and that they are loved. Adoption is an adjustment for everyone but something that we do not always think about it how the child is going to feel through the process and how they will…
