My mother lived in Europe during Holocaust, her family posed as Catholics and survived.

I belong to a new generation and I (would like to) believe that I am fortunate to live in a new and better world. That's why whenever I experience discrimination in the adoption world, it just freaks me out.

Wizard, that's what happened with MY family. My mother won't discuss being Jewish with anyone (she was 6 at the end of WWII). I didn't know I was Jewish until about age 11 when I started to ask questions of my Grandmother. Amazing!
