My parents told me that I was adopted when I was 2 and 1/2, of course I don't remember this but they have told me the story of how they told me. Because of this I feel like I have always known I was adopted. Therefore, there was no monumental revealing of the fact that I am adopted, it was always just a fact of life and it was never a secret nor was it an issue. We were open about talking about it and sometimes we even joke about my looking like my dad or having the same figure as my mom. However, I've always felt loved and like a true part of my family. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
