Re: can i be adopted

Thanks for contacting us here at NRS. We are glad that you are seeking help, but we are a little confused or should we say not clear about your situation. If you can provide us with a little more information, we may be able to help out by providing some referrals or at least guide you the right way in order to seek help. What do you mean by not liking your family and wanting to be adopted? Is there a certain situation that is going on that you are referring to? You can post another message on the bulletin board or you can simply call us. We can be reached at 1-800-RUNAWAY and we are a 24hr. confidential crisis line. Until then, good luck!

Re: can i be adopted

We're sorry that you feel like your whole family hates you. Have you ever talked to them about the way you feel? You mentioned you've thought of suicide before. Have you ever attempted suicide? Sometimes when in a situation it's hard to see a way out. What types of things would you like to see change in your life? Often it helps to just be able to talk to someone not involved in the situation. Our hotline, 1-800-RUNAWAY, is completely confidential. We don't record our calls and we would never tell when someone calls us. More importantly, we're non-judgemental and are here to just listen. If you think it would help to talk to one of our liners (the person that answers the phone), we're available 24/7 Also, there is a Nat'l Suicide Hotline, 1-800-273-TALK, if you ever want/need to call them. Please call anytime. Someone is always waiting for your call.

Re: can i be adopted

I'm sorry that you are going through such a hard time right now. You mentioned that you attempted suicide at one time, but it sounded like your family was not aware that this happened. That must have been a very hard situation for you to deal with. Are you currently feeling suicidal? Did you attempt suicide only one time, or has it been more than that? How do you think your family would react if you told them how you have been feeling? You did say that you were able to talk to your friends and that they are a big support for you. I'm glad to hear that you feel like you have people who care about you and are trying to help you out during this time. Like we mentioned before you can always talk to us as well. At 1-800-RUNAWAY there is always someone here to listen. It might be a little bit easier to talk and come up with some options that might be helpful if you give us a call. When you feel like your ready to talk, we are always here to listen.
