As a newbie, I have browsed through this site and what I notice is missing is some humour. Being adopted and all that goes with it can be overwhelming and stressful I know. But as it has been a few years since I started my search - and ended up successful I have more insight and I have come to a point that I can smile about the whole thing. Even joke about it. It makes me, my adopted parents and my birth parents alot more comfortable.

Yes there are humourous moments that need to be remembered. Like the silly things you do when searching. The game you play with yourself looking into the faces of strangers to see if they have similar features to you... yes you think they may be my parents.(yeh, like that's possible) The way you reassure yourself that you are adopted when your parents do something stupid.
The funny things you dream up about your birth parents - yes mine were movie stars!
I laughed with my birth mother the first time I met her to show her that I was happy to be there and shared with her funny things I had done in my life.
We can smile and even laugh about being adopted! We are blessed and are interesting people.

Don't let the hugeness of the whole thing get you down. Have some fun and see the funny side of it.

Take laxatives and let the world fall out of your bottom"
