In my seventeen years of life I've faced a lot of challenges that I could write pages and pages,maybe even novels about but this time I wanted to write about my current challenge that I am still trying to figure out.
About a week ago I got the shock of my life. There was a facebook message from a name that I did not recognize at first that I ended up ignoring it. Then a few hours later I sat down to watch TV and took out my laptop to waste some time on facebook. I looked at the message again. After about a half an hour of mindless facebooking I realized who the person was. Elina is the name of my biological mom and so is her last name. It all clicked.
I decided not to message her back, not because of what people said but because this is my philosophy:
The day I meet my mom again I want to have an established career to show her that her choice to let me be adopted was the right one. I want to show her how successful I became because of her selflessness.
Wow, Oksana. That is interesting, and I think that you are making the best decision to keep her out of your life for now. When you are ready, you can seek her out on your terms. Enjoy your spring break, and I will see you in about a week. By the way, I love the new look of your blog.
