The New York Times is running a series on adoption called Relative Choices. There’s definitely some good, thought-provoking stuff for me as an adoptee.
Here’s something I saw in the comments today:
With no biological history (and back then there was none they gave) I could be anyone. It was, in a way, empowering.
I guess that has been my attitude. I have tried not to be limited by where I grew up (a rural, isolated area) or my life experience thus far, but to be empowered by it. I haven’t always succeeded, but it hasn’t stopped me thus far either.
