this is exactly how I feel about it.
I think of mine as a small scar (relatable to a chicken pox scar). If someone were to point out a chicken pox scar on me and say "Hey what's that from?" I would just nonchalantly say "Oh, I had chicken pox when I was 5."
That's how I feel about adoption. Like if someone were to say "so, what's that 'scar'?" I could just nonchalantly say "I'm adopted and proud!" hehe
for me, it's not something painful to think about but, rather for me, something to add yet another facet of who I am.
