For the last few days I have been waiting on the post adoption team to come back to me hopefully with new information around my adoption in 1964. All my life I was told that I was adopted through the Church of England and today I was told in an email that I was not adopted through the church. They believe that I was adopted through London County Council. This has stirred up a whole new level of emotion for me, I do not know what to believe anymore. It all seems all cloak and dagger and has now thrown up more questions than answers.
I don't really know anyone else who has been adopted but I am sure that if I was put up for adoption through the council I would have gone into care first, instead I was told that I was taken home from the hospital at ten days old and adopted in just over eighteen weeks with no social services involvement. I now find this situation totally unreal. I thought everything I was told growing up was the truth but now I am wondering what were they trying to hide. Everyone I contact doesn't seem to know where to send me next.
I thought I had a close relationship with my parents but I now wonder. I thought they were honest and truthful people and everything we did together feels tarnished and I can't ask them because they are no longer here.
