Back on topic!
I'm adopted as well as my father (who is also a Sigma Nu from Mount Union). I was adopted at birth and brought home from the hospital 6 weeks later (my birthday is 11/8 and I was brought home on 12/13 - and yes, it was a friday
). I would give anything to meet my biological parents - I want to know what they look like, I want to know what the story is about me, and of course I want to know about my health problems because I have MANY. I do know some information about them - she was 19, he was 21. She was 5'7 with strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes, loved horses, and finished the 11th grade. He was 5'9 with blonde hair and brown eyes, loved cars, and finished high school. I'm 5'6 with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, grew up around horses and cars all my life. Kinda funny how things work.
My father met his mother and she didn't really want to speak to him but he did find out that she had another son years later that she kept. Unfortunately, he was killed by a drunk driver before my dad could meet him. BUT my dad did meet his widowed wife and son and their son looks JUST LIKE my little brother - from what my dad said. I've always known - since I could comprehend the fact and I would never speak to my parents again if they had done it any other way. That's just f'kd up! Now as far as the pro-life thing is concerned, I'm 100% pro-choice. I am VERY thankful for the decision my biological parents made but I still believe a woman has the right to make
whatever decision she wants.
*edit: I was adopted because my mother was told by at least a dozen specialists that she would not be able to have children. She always wanted a girl, so here I come and then 3 years later. BAM! Little brother Jeff is born!
Only problems - mom had to have a c-section and he was a blue baby.
