Lies Lies and Some more Lies
It’s just getting to the point where any official contact I have with the official channels just plays with my head for some amount of time after the fact.
A simple example from Thursday last: A kind friend secures my long awaited Baptism Cert for me in Dublin. It was anticipated by me because in the absence of a Birth Cert, It was the connecting thread linking me back to my Birth Mother. Well, that’s what I was told by a senior Social Worker from the Adoption Board.
Yet when I got this elusive document, it was shot through with inconsistencies in relation to the reassurance that had been offered to me on the phone from the Adoption board: In short, no names and no details that in anyway confirmed certain facts about my Birth identity for me. The hope that I that I could somehow decipher my Birth Father’s name was exploded. Well it’s hard to decipher a name when there is none actually writen down! – yet another inconsistent “fact”. it seems like the truth is a moveable variable to these people.
Anyway, I guess it’s back to the core point. I want my files. Why do I have to even ask for something that is so very much mine. Why does anyone have to ask????
Though I do like jigsaws, when it comes to my own identity, I don’t . I am actually unwilling and unable to keep playing the game that the Adoption Authorities play with me. It’s one jigsaw puzzle that should never have happened in the first place.
