I have found out that my "mom" is actually my grandmother

Im 16yrs old and I have found out that my “mom” is actually my grandmother and I have gotten to meet my real mother whom never wanted to give me up in the first place I was 2 months and 6 days when I was taken from my mother. I was raised beliving that my grandmother was actually my mom because noone would tell me other wise. I was 11yrs old when I found out that my “mom” was actually my grandmother and I was told my real mom wanted nothing to do with me that she never once cared about me. at 11yrs old you cant understand stuff like that and it left me confused. after I met my real mom she explained to me that my grandparents were not my parents that her and a different man was and my sisters and brothers were actually my aunts and uncles. and that my neices and nefews were actually my cousins and my big brother was my bio father. I was wondering sence I am 16 if I can move in with my biological mother?whom lives in texas and I live in oklahoma. thank you for reading please help me

Answer #1

You’re at the thresh-hold of possible college or entering the workplace - going out on your own in less than 3 years - I think whatever you decide, education should be your high priorty but certainly get and stay close to your Mom when able…I wish you the very best !!

Answer #2

From what I’ve read in your question, I don’t see any reason why you can’t move in with your biological mother. I’m sure that she would want you with her this time over there in Texas. Here is the part that bothers me, why didn’t your mother want to keep you as a baby? And, why did she give you to your grandmother? But since your 16 now, your mother might accept you. So, I’d give it a try and see how she reacts. I agree that at 11 years old at the time, you didn’t understand what went on in the family as far as who you belonged too. I probably would’ve been the same way. Now that I’m 23, and live on my own, I always wanted to go back to China where I’m originally from and find my biological parents. I’m afraid to do that since China is pretty bad and I feel so much safer here in the US. Like I was saying, you could live with your mother for awhile and see how she reacts. And, if she doesn’t like you living with her, then you could always go back to OK.. I wish you luck, to reunite with your mom. My prayers are with you. God Bless.

Answer #3

Well it’s your choice,I don’t think they can do anything about it!She is your real mother and if your grandparents love you they would let you go were you think you belong with.

Answer #4

If you want to live with your mother then do it. I can’t see why anyone wouldn’t be tempted. I mean being reunited with a mother you forgot about? Heck yeah, I’d say yes. Though I’d be pissed that my whole life was a lie.

Answer #5

I was adopted by my grandmother not by my moms choice! my “so called father “ didnt want my mom to keep me. she wanted to keep me and raise me but they wouldent let her. my dad talked her into signing the papers that were only for temperary custody. and they paid the lawyer and the judge to where it was not temperary to where it was permenate. she did not want to give me up they stole me. they made it seem like she was going to get me back but they lied to her and made her sign the paperwork. she has been looking for me ever sence she lost me when I was just a baby im with her now and im happy where I am im not getting lied to and im not getting abused and im in a clean enviorment.

Answer #6

You know, why not go “visit” your bio-mom this summer, before you pack up and move?? Check it out a little, before you decide to make it permanent?

I don’t know the circumstances that caused your grandparents to raise you as their own…but I do know this (being a grandparent, myself)…They took you in and loved you…they’d already raised their family, so there was sacrifice involved. They must love you very much.

Have you talked this “moving” idea over with your grandmom?? Maybe get a “feel” for why your mom needed to let you be raised by her mom…

Answer #8

Thats your choice, your guardians, and your moms choice if your grandparents are listed as your main guardians, then they have to switch that back to your mom I think then you can live with her im sorry, thats sooo weird…interesting though, I’m happy your getting along fine (I hope) well good luck:)
