I have wonderful adoptive parents- never had any questions growing up and NEVER felt like I was not their biological child.
Adoption was a ONE TIME event in my life and it is NOT an ongoing process.
Adoption is not supposed to differentiate our place in this world.. Whether we are raised by adoptive parents or by our natural parents. It wasnt set up to make any distinction between the two.
Genetically I may have been predisposed, but my character, my values, my moral belief system was shaped by my parents. No one else, to them Biology/genetics did not matter one ounce. Nor does it to me either. I know who my parents are- there never has been a doubt in my mind.
Contrary to what you see on the boards.. there are many adoptees who dont grow up wondering, who have no questions because we are content with who we are.
Curiosity more so strikes for me now as Im older, but its definately not a necessity or desire to know.
