Life / Bad Polish mothers [35]

My (Polish!) mother gave me up for adoption. As a little girl I couldn't understand it and I sometimes talked about her like she was evil. I also acted like I didn't care. Since I'm 15 years old the vision changed and all of it began to matter. At age of 17 they gave me a letter she left when she left me.

I can't compare adoption with killing your child ofcourse but trust me,
it's not about the Polish-ness.

Work / Can I find a job in Poland that requires speaking in English? [82]

Hmm I've got the same age as you and you're living the dream, speaking Polish, going to Poland, maybe work,...
Good luck!

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Someone probably already asked but this topic has just too many pages...

What about Wójcik?

I was adopted so I accidently got my name spelled wrong on my ID. I grew up with my name being 'Wojcik' and I learned it that way. Later ofcourse, I found out it should be Wójcik because my mother's name is also Wójcik (got her last name) and people told me that's the right form.

Love / Are Polish men handsome to you? [182]

I love their eyes and I also love the fact that they're real man with a real body type. They look like they eat, sleep, work, work out,... Don't give me sixpack, give me healthy and average. PLUS they are true gentlemen, they don't even have to fake that. Their personalities are very different from the ones I'm used to in Belgium.
