I was adopted almost immediately after birth, so I learned this information after getting in contact with my birth father, B.
Long story short, my birth mother, K, got pregnant, found out that I was a girl, freaked out, and tried to abort me with a coat hanger in the middle of winter in Alaska. Obviously, she failed, but induced premature labour instead. I was born at 1 lb, 5oz if I recall correctly.
Edit: My (real, adoptive) mom said I was estimated to be 21 weeks’ gestation.
Because I survived, and no one knew that besides B and K at this time, K threatened my dad into giving me up for adoption and claiming that I was miscarried. She said that if he didn’t, that she’d run away with both myself and their son (my brother), A.
So, yeah! Feel free to ask me anything you want! 😀 I’ll answer what I can! 🙂
Edit: here’s the proof that I could gather on short notice. Note that B is my birth dad 🙂 the other pics were me in the NICU
Edit 2: here are my scars from where I had to get medicine administered, since some of you still think that I’m lying.

How old are you now?
Do you forgive them?
Do you have any health problems from being born so premature?
I’m glad you’re here and alive!
howd you find your birth father ?
Is that version of what happened all come from your birth father?
How do you feel about abortion? Are you against or agree?
I have few!
How was your adoption process like? Did your parents and your birth father had contact?
May I get your time, date and place of birth? I’d like to draw up an astrological birth chart for you.
Why didn’t your mother want a girl?
Have you ever met other abortion survivors?
So you were 20 weeks gestation? Nope, not buying it.
Edit: Now she says 21 weeks, which has a less than 1% survival rate. She also says she had her IV in her hand and side, but I know for an absolute fact that IVs in preemies are only placed in the hand, foot, or scalp.
Go ahead and downvote me, but I’m still not buying this person’s story.
Were you and your brother adopted by the same family?
Do you believe this version of events? Have you heard the birth mother’s side of the story? I personally would be cautious of taking such a one sided story as fact. Best of luck to you!
She tried to abort you because you are a girl / now woman? Or would she abort a son too anyway?
I’m sorry but do you have any proof of this story? A 21 week preemie (as you’re claiming you were) has a 1% chance of survival in 2025, and is with massive risk of future health problems.
If according to your age you were born in 1998, the chance of that is a solid zero.
I can tell you that it is possible her story is true. I mean, look at the Dionne quintuplets that were born in 1934 prematurely. Miracles happen. They all survived to adulthood. The smallest being just 1lb and some ounces. Largest 2lb 4 oz. Again…1934.
Are you pro life or choice??
i pmed you 🙂
Please know you are loved.
Glad your alive
