My Journey To Find My Birth Son Jamie
This time of year is very difficult. If you have not found your birth child you wonder if ‘they’ are happy, if ‘they are loved, if ‘they’ will have a good Christmas. Not knowing hurts. If you have found your birth child, you wish that you could be part of their joy, you wish you… [Read More]
I woke up on the morning of April 14th and when I got out of bed there was a gush. I thought to myself “I can’t even make it to the bathroom anymore”, but I felt different. I went and told my Mum and she said “the baby is getting ready to be born. The contractions… [Read More]
As I write this I can honestly say that I don’t remember much between the epidural and the delivery room. Let me tell you what I do remember. Probably once I write this I will remember more in my dreams. After I received the epidural I was told the contractions would ease and the swelling… [Read More]

As hard as it is sometimes to watch, because of my own experience of searching for and finding my birth son, I am committed to the show Long Lost Family. This show takes birth parents and birth children on a journey during which they come to understand more (for the parent) what their child went… [Read More]
The years after my son was taken away right after he was born sent me into such a downward spiral that I thought the only way out of was to commit suicide. But I told myself I couldn’t do that to my son. What if he tried to find me only to find out I killed… [Read More]
Of course the main reason is because I am a birth mother, so it’s harder to relate to the birth fathers perspective. But it is more than that. My own experience with my son’s birth father was, well, not good. His family concluded that I was just out for their money so they made sure the… [Read More]
Thank you for your comments! In the past I didn’t get much traffic here at Taken at Birth and not many comments on my posts. This year more of you have found me, read my posts and shared your stories through my comments form. Even though you aren’t seeing them live on the site I… [Read More]
