I found out that I was adopted at the age of six y/o. At first I didn't know how to deal with it. In my own way I felt unwanted by my biological parents. It was hard. In my opinion if a child knows early in life then one has more time to process on what being adopted actually means. In my experience, being adopted is who I am. It is apart of me just like anything else. I can honestly say that at the age of 18 years that I would not change who I am b/c I love my parents just as if they were my biological parents. As I always tell my mom, I will always have a mother in my biological mother but you're my mom that has been there from the beginning. In short, to me there is a mother and then there is a mom.
