I've always known I was adopted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always knew I would adopt. Always.
As an adopted person, once you find out about that 'other' side of yourself, it's almost like you find out who you really are.
I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.
When I was younger, I thought every kid was adopted because that's all I've known. I have everything I need, so I never felt the need to have answers for what happened.
Before I met my husband, I was just about to look into adoption.
I had this sister that was born who was given up for adoption, and I never knew it.
I was not allowed to talk about being adopted when growing up. I walked around feeling like I was going to explode.
Meanwhile I married and I adopted three kids who were all from one family and then later I was divorced.
When I was growing up, I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn't have parents.
When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was - and that my real parents were going to come get me.
