Beautiful! You could be telling my story almost to the letter. How many times can I think to myself “wow! me too!!” during one reading?
We have the same birth year, a good enough relationship with adoptive parents to contemplate NOT trying to contact birth parents, and apparently the same fantasies stemming from being adopted.

I often wonder how much of me (interests, talents, looks, etc) comes from genetics, and how much comes from the only parents I’ve ever known. (Nature vs. Nurture) -perhaps you too?

Thanks for this – it’s nice to not feel quite so alone from time to time. I eagerly await the rest of the story.

Umm, I’ll still he here next week when you finish this story, just don’t forget that you’ve got us all hanging on your every word! :grin:

When I was around 4 or 5 yrs old, my cousin (same age) was adopted by one of our aunts. I remember running into the house and telling my Mom that I wanted to be adopted, too. I can’t remember her reaction, but today, I can imagine her reaction.

It’s nice to hear that you have a good relationship with your adoptive family. I’ve often heard that there can be problems with adopted kids, and I’ve seen this as I have 5 adopted cousins. I’m not sure why this is, but I am thankful it’s not a rule. My family adopted my sister when I was 7 and she was 1. She has known, like you, since she was a child that she was adopted and she really doesn’t seem to mind. Hannah has never felt less a part of our family and though we know she’s not a blood relative, it never feels that way. We love her tremendously. She’s a genius, amazingly talented and beautiful and we’re so blessed to have her, and I’m sure your family would say the same of you in a heartbeat. I am a huge advocate for adoption and I hope to be able to adopt one day as well.
Thanks for the great post. Can’t wait to hear the rest!
