I have a lot of adopted friends and worked with some when I was a counselor at a summer camp. I'll never forget the one girl I met my last summer. I worked with 11-12 yr olds and she came in half way through the summer. She immediately attached herself to me on the first day and at lunch sat with the counselors instead of the kids. She told me how she was adopted and just recently found out. She's the youngest of three, has two older brothers who are biological and one day she was fighting with her middle brother when he turned around and says "Yeah well at least I'm not adopted." She thought he was just teasing her and just brushed it off but he wouldnt let it go so she finally asks her parents and they explain to her (finally) that she was indeed adopted. She wanted to find her birth mom but I really don't think she will be able to because from what she told me her birth mother left her on the steps of a church wrappe up in a blanket. Her adoptive parents went to the church and decided to take her in. My heart went out to the girl and I was so angry at her parents for the longest time. No child should learn they are adopted that way!!
