I can’t help but wonder if my birth parents weren’t bad people or if it was because they couldn’t cope with what me and my siblings wanted like yeah we were what 2 years old - 7 years old maybe we asked for too much maybe just wanting love was too much for them? Maybe that’s what lead them to abusing us?

it wasn’t your fault. You were so young. Even if you needed a lot or misbehaved or whatever, you were just being a child. That doesn’t deserve abuse
Hey @River, thank you for sharing this with us. Echoing with @AnonymousToe says, a child does not deserve abuse, and a parent has no right to abuse a child. Being stressed about parenthood doesn't excuse that at all. Please don't blame yourself for seeking attention and love from your parent - that's what a young child needs. I wonder, have you spoken to a therapist or counsellor about these feelings? We're here to support you.
