they told me I was adopted from day one (and same with my adopive older brother). it was something we always just knew. I've been doing a lot of soul searching and I have come to realize that my adoptive parents denied me as I was growing up my Colombian culture (I was adopted from Bogota, Colombia) and the fact that my biological family exsists. I find it extremly hard to talk to my parents about anything to do with adoption, however now that I am 20 and adult I'm embracing the fact that I'm adopted and educating myself with adoption literature and Colombian history/culutre. I feel bad though because I'm really close with my adoptive mother and I don't want to hurt her. But I'm also angry that they kind of made the fact that we were adopted an unspoken secret after a certain point in my life. And whenever I bring up adoption with them it seems like they grimace & they're hurt. Its so frustrating being adopted.
