Recommended: Personal narrative about being adopted

My family is not my blood family, but with how close we all are sometimes I forget. From the moment my parents thought we were mature enough, they told us we were adopted, but they never really told us our “story” until this year. My adopted parents had two miscarriages and because they wanted kids so bad, they decided to adopt. My sister was adopted at eighteen months, my brother at sixteen months, and I was adopted at five days old. All three of us have our own stories on why we were adopted, but mine is uniquely different. The day I was born my biological mother left me. She swaddled me up in blankets and set me on a bench near the entrance of the hospital, knowing that the nurses would walk by and see me. That same day at around seven

    Family defines people making them who they are. A person's family heritage, how their parents met and married, their parents’ occupations, their siblings, and their early lives play an important role in who they are and who they become. Every family is different and has different characteristics and members, but those differences are what make every family unique. Those differences combined with my family members’ experiences and the stories they have chosen to share are what makes this story exclusive to my family.

    I have always known that I was adopted. There was never one day when I realized that my parents were not biologically related to me. Being adopted has always been a part of me, ever since early childhood. Almost every year, in my elementary school classes, I had to create a project in which I had to describe myself. Sometimes I would have to use objects or pictures, at other times I would have to write an essay or poem. Every single time I completed a variation of that assignment, I included the same three facts about myself: I like to dance, I enjoy going to the beach, and I am adopted. I remember being so proud to

  • Personal Narrative: Parenting With False Dichotomy

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a parent I lie, trick, and even devise completely bogus stories to get my daughter to learn what I conceive to be vital lessons. My daughter is what some would refer to as a strong-willed child. I honestly think she believes she has life all figured out. It can be strenuous reasoning with her. Sometimes she needs some extra convincing, and often the use of a best and worst-case scenario is what I need to get her to see things my way. One of the greatest tools I use in my parental arsenal is the use of false dichotomy fallacy. Its helped me to make headway in many debates.

    The day that changed my life. It was 7am that morning I woke up and got my black dress on with white lace at the top. I waited for my dad and brother to get ready as I waited I sat and thought to myself “how am I going to get through this today?” I never did find an answer to that question and I probably never will. I walked into the funeral home that morning, and with my family we entered the room this was the very last time I will ever get to see my grandma. She laid there as I stood there looking at her, granddaughter to grandma. She looked completely like herself mostly other than the makeup which wasn’t her at all. My grandma was apostolic which if you knew my grandma you would know she never wore make up. Not in her entire life all 94 years of it. But it was kind of relieving to see her look so peaceful she looked like herself in her handmade rose colored blouse and

  • The Advantages and Disadvantages of Close and Open Adoption

    The best things in life come free to us. Our parents are one of the most important and fundamental in our life. However, people generally wonder, do adopted children feel the same way we do? Adoption is not easy, it's full of risks, simply because no one is aware of the future, the person adopting a child will never know how the child will react once he's aware he's adopted. Will they grow to love them, hate them, admire them or fear them? All of these unanswerable questions makes any person think twice before having the courage to adopt. Adoption never fails to put down any parents' feelings, whether they were homeless, abandoned, poor or runaway children and also families who don't have the option of being biological parents, the pleasure it gives to all of those people exceeds all of it's expected problems. However; adoption has some positive sides. It's one of life's fair treaties. It gives hope and integrity to the families who weren't fortunate to conceive; moreover, it changes the life of the child forever mostly positively. That's why many people support adoption worldwide.
