I Knew I Was Different

Posted February 14th, 2010.

My parents recently told me that I was adopted at birth.  The funny thing is, I wasn’t really surprised.  I look nothing like my adopted parents or my siblings, and I don’t seem to take after either of them.  I kind of always felt like the odd duck of the family.  It was a relief when they told me, but then a disappointment because they did not know how to get in touch with my birth family.  I went online to find birth records, and that is how I found this site.  It only took two days to locate my birth mother, and we meet for the first time next month.  I can’t wait.
