    Hey,

    I hadn't heard of a name for that time between.... hmmmm...
    I was born on 4/18 in a Salvation Army hospital, and they lied to my birthmom
    telling her I had been taken home, she never saw me. I remained there for 10 days until they
    let my adopted parents bring me home.... I "wrote" an angry poem once about
    being left alone in a plastic box under florescent lights, not being held, etc...
    (I saw "wrote" because I woke from a dream, grabbed a pen, and it pretty much just burst out of me)

    Nice Dead reference, by the way... ;-)

      I was born on January 5th and not adopted for two or three months. I always wondered what the hell happened during those months. My "mom" made it seem like some nice lady was taking care of me the whole time. I always think of it as a dark abyss. Kinda depressing, really.

        Wow - Xtine - my birthday is January 5th and I was also adopted, although I somewhat glad *not* to know what happened during the days in between my birth and when my paternal grandparents took over at about 8 months...when I hear the stories, it makes me shudder. I'm glad that those days and months were years ago.

          This topic makes sense to me after i found out how long I was days in between. I found out after recieving my non -ID information from the adoption agency that I had been placed in one of those large homes that is like a between home for us waiting to be adopted. I was there for almost a year before I was adopted out. I wonder what I could have missed by not bonding with a family during that time.

    One day? That's impressive. I was in foster care for 8 months after being born. The county had to terminate my birth father's rights, because he didn't sign the papers. I bonded with my foster family, then went to another foster family for a couple of weeks before I was finally adopted out. I never truly bonded with my adoptive family. And after getting my records, I know why.
