MadeinCAN Introduction

Hiya all,

I'm a 28y.o. chick born in Montreal,Canada.
I was giving up by adoption when I was still a babe and adopted by a Belgian couple whom had been living there already for several years and praying for a child.Then,I showed up.

My adoptive mother,never quite got used to living in Canada and missed Antwerp,Belgium,her birth country and so,left my adoptive father,taking me with her at the age of 13 y.o.!

I partly choose to go with her,he,I was 13 and going to Europe seemed exiting at that time,but,I'm really sorry of that choice,cause,my mum,turned into a full blown alcoholic and on top of that,a manic depressed woman.Well,I wont be going into to much details about that,it 's still a part of my life that I can't look back onto quite yet.

Apparently,the appel doesn't fall far from the tree,cause when I was 16y.o.(mother beeing to drunk to notice that I was around)I was pregnant,my birthmom,between,was 17 y.o.herself,and that's all I know about her.Me and my ex had 2 children together,and they are great,no regrets,believe me,they brought meaning to my life,but,because of their father,who is my ex,but a good dad,I'm stuck here in Belgium.

Don't get me wrong,it's not all that bad,social security,have a good job,nice home,lovely area,love the European culture,but I miss home,I feel like I don't fit here.I don't think the same,I miss hockey,baseball,Dunkin Donuts,Starbucks,wow,the list is really long.

I really want to reach the teenage mums out there,or pregnant teens,whatever you choose to do,if you're sure,it will be the right thing,whatever you choose to do,no regrets,but believe me,having a loving child in your arms,is the most rewarding thing that could have ever happened to me.
