Wild how quickly time passes...

It's already been 18 months since the last time I heard from birthdad. It's never going to be an easy thing that he chose to abandon our adoption constellation, but I know it says nothing about me.

However, him leaving has left holes in places I didn't expect, and emotional responses I can't always predict.

Anger Sadness Hurt Rejection

Relief

I can't listen to Breaking Benjamin anymore - he was the reason I started listening to them. Yet I still love learning about cars and watching The Grand Tour - our relationship (back in 2009-10) was why I started learning about cars and watching BBC's Top Gear.

His presence in my life has made me who I am today. I don't want to erase that, but I also don't want to forever think about what I went through with him.

So, yesterday I allowed myself to reminisce about everything. But today I put those memories back in their box in the corner.

Summer vacation season is here ✈️. Where is everyone headed? Travel is one my favorite things to do. I try to travel internationally 1-2 times a year and also in the US as often as I can. You can learn so much by leaving your neighborhood and I can’t wait to share that with a little one soon. 📱If you or someone you know is pregnant and considering an adoption plan I would love to hear from you. Please call, email, or text at any time. 🙋🏻‍♀️ hello to Liza:  Email:  [email protected]   ☎️: 646-378-9539 💬also available on WhatsApp 💜Get to know me better through my full adoption profile at www.Lizaadopts.com (link in bio 👆🏼). 👋 Reach Liza’s Attorney:  (Laurie is very nice & helpful) LaurieB.Goldheim Email: [email protected] ☎️: 845-624-2727 #familytravel #hopingtoadopt #adoption #privateadoption #openadoption #adoptionjourney #traveltheworld #adoptivefamily (at Greenpoint) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1XYIxuBRP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
