I am at the moment, because of my age at 23, suffering from a sense of being lost. Not just the psychological separation of independence from parents-but of the identity. I am happy I am adopted-but I have no idea who i look like and it bothers me. As the therapist says, adoption is the biggest "rejection" that's only aware unconsciously-and its taken a toll on my social behaviour and it took me a long time to realize that adoption might be the answer for having a fear of rejection. But in any case, I was also diagnosed with type one diabetes two years ago and the disease wasn't printed on the papers-of course the disease can manifest out of now where-upon anyone-I wanted to share this with my birth mom or dad. But most of all I want to share with them the wonderfull life I have-but only if they want to hear it.I don't know much about either parent except mom has brown hair, 5'2, 140lbs and 22years old at time of my birth. Didn't finnish 9th grade and she likes to sew. Dad is blonde, blue eyes, finnished Highschool, was a construction worker and liked to dance.

This was at Gladeny in Fort Worth, Texas.

Hope this helps.
