Wow

What great feedback! Heres the funny thing. My older brother is also adopted and hated it growing up. He had the feelings of rejection, I dont fit etc. Yet he has my father(and grandfathers name) and he was the perfect child adored by my parents. I was the "hard" child that I am sure made my parents rethink the whole adoption thing more than once. But they needed me to "loosen them up" and I needed them to provide structure. The only thing that kept me from getting in even more trouble than I did was "My parents would kill me!" If I had been raised by a single mom...??
Being perfectly happy with my adoption has been a great gift for my birthmom. My birth sibs say she is glowing and very happy.
