Looking for my 17 year old son that was adopted?
To make a long story short. I was addicted to crack cocaine and left my husband and children at home. I was sent to prison for crimes I committed to get my drugs. While incarcerated my children were place in the CHINS program. When I was released from prison, one year later, I signed over my parental rights. Due to the fact that I could not promise my children let alone myself I could stay straight, nor did I have a place to stay. As of today I have been clean and sober for three and a half years. I am remarried to a great man and am the proud mother of a three year old. I am in a stable and loving environment today and work a twelve step program daily. I found out that the adoptive parents has placed the eldest back into adoption. I want to find him. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about those children. I would greatly appreciate suggestions. Thanks and God Bless!
Just to make this clear I did not indulge in crack cocaine and or alcohol while carrying any of my children. I understand that my eldest did not want another mother in his life but ME. As far as my three year old she was three months old when I chose to stop drinking.

This is going to hurt very badly, but there’s nothing you can do unless he decides to look for you.
You signed away your parental rights, and adoptions are private for very good reasons (lawsuits, mainly). And no adoption agency will give you information.
I’m truly, very sorry. I hope he comes looking for you.
