You're the only other person I've heard call it that. I'm also half adopted. My mom left my father when she was pregnant (thank God) and remarried when I was 2. He had visitation until I was 6, when I was adopted by my daddy. I knew about one sister, but found out about another when I was 19, and I also have a four year old brother that I'll never know. That's the stuff that sucks - knowing that there are people that are a part of me that I'll never know. I had contact with my bio father for a little while when I was 19, but I only saw him twice and spoke with him a few times. I have room in my life for one father, and that's who raised me.
When I was adopted I was issued a new birth certificate with my adopted father and new last name. My little brother had a difficult time understanding until he was older... he thought since I was adopted he was as well...
