As I grow older, I have a growing curiosity about my other half. My dad did a wonderful job raising me, and I wouldn't change it for the world, but at the same time there is a growing curiosity about my other half.
My biological mother had me at 16, and it was just too young.
A woman can produce what no man can: a child.
If a man adopt a child and to his name as son, and rear him, this grown son can not be demanded back again.
My adoptive mother always wanted to meet my biological mother.
My real mom had two kids, my half-sister Tara and my half-brother Clint. When I was growing up Clint was a big wrestling fan and he instilled that into me. I was immediately encapsulated with everything pro wrestling.
A mother is always a mother, since a mother is a biological fact, whilst a father is a movable feast.
I realized that so much of the pressure I was feeling was from outside sources, and I knew I wasn't ready to take that step into motherhood. [...] Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around.
Naturally, people are curious about how my real mom feels about me having a TV mom.
It doesn't matter if a child comes to you or through you. That love is still the same. You are still a mother.
I wanted a baby of color, to be honest, because I wasn't attached to the idea that I look like the biological mother. I liked the idea of the adoption being clear; it was and is not something I am interested in hiding.
I have a very non-existent, dysfunctional relationship with my biological mother.
