I am an adoptee as well as an adoptive parent. My two sisters are also adopted. We were adopted as infants back in the 1970s, when most, if not all, adoptions were closed. We all know very little about our birthparents. We don't even have medical history. But what we all do know is that our birthparents love us very much and they wanted to give us the world. Which is why they gave us to our parents. I never have had an urge to seek out my biological family. I simply trust in their love and give thanks for their decision.
I can't remember a time when I didn't know I was adopted. I also don't remember the moment I was told, which I think speaks volumes. I hope my children will be able to say the same thing when they are my age. Our adoptions were a subject of pride, never hidden from family or friends or anyone. We grew up knowing, believing, and trusting that we were specially chosen miracles that were sent from God to bless my parents life.
