My parents are brother and sister
GROWING up in a loving home Teresa Weiler had little interest in finding out about her biological parents.Yet she knew very little about her birth parents and had no plans to track them down - until her nephew's birth got her thinking about having children of her own someday.
“I secretly decided to find out how I would go about this, and that's really where the story began,” she explains.Teresa requested her adoption records from social services and seven months later she travelled to the council offices where she was given access to her file.“She was only 16, and therefore had not been in a position to bring me up and as I read further down the page it started to give details of other people including that of my father.
“After a couple of years, I started to think maybe I should meet my mum and try and see things from her point of view,” Teresa says. “We weren't there very long before she said to me to go away, write down what you want to ask me, so that we can have a bit more of a conversation. For the next fifteen years Teresa kept both the brief encounter with her mum and her anguish bottled up.How does adoption work?
