Last year when i was 26 years old i was diagnosed with triple negative ****** cancer. Although i am cancer free now, i am still TERRIFIED of a recurrence. Well… at least the good thing about this is that i did test negative for having the brca1&2 gene and doctors say that i am very healthy now.
I am still in fear. I wish i had someone that has been in my shoes to talk to. if i did, it would help me get through the fear I wish i could be strong as Kim and Stephanie are.

Hi Kim,
That makes a lot more sense, thank you for clearing that up! I think your video is a testament to the importance of providing medical records to adopting parents. I think a lot of people are finding your story both helpful and inspiring.
Kudos!!

Hi Ginger!!
This is Kim!
Back in 1969 Our Mother never knew she had the gene and did not know she would be prone to get cancer. Our grandmother had it that is all she knew! Testing for this gene has only been just over 10 years

What a great video! Since the rate of passing along the BRCA gene is so high, it seems like their mother should have been required to share it with the adopting parents.
At any rate, to Kim and Stephanie you have so much courage and I appreciate you sharing your story. Thank you and good luck!

Just one more reason why it should be criminal to severe the ties between an adoptee and their biological family.

all respect for taking the time to produce this public service. sharing it with all my adoptive community.
i hope everyone visiting here can learn how important it is for adoptees to gain open access to health records

this is just like Christina Applegate’s story! It must be so hard to be 36 and single after ****** cancer.

What a powerful video! I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to not have access to your birth mother’s medical records when you may have a genetic predisposition for a disease.
