I dont mean to be rude or hurt your feelings but, when I read this it sounds like you talk about your parents as if they were your aunt and unkle and not your real parents. Is that how you feel? Did your parents make you feel like you were the odd one out "the adopted one" and not their "real" child?
I can totally understand that you would want to research about your past to understand more about yourself . If my husband and I decside to adopt I would encourage the child to do the same, but I would hope that the child would see us as THE parents not just some couple that raised me....
