Adoption

I was adopted at 3 months old. My parents say that when they brought me home that there was all sorts of family and friends there to welcome me. But I had this funny look on my face. Of course I did!! I didn’t know anyone there! I wonder what they expected me to do? Act like I had known them since birth? I did not understand all these years that this was to be expected. That they should have known that I would have felt out of place. But why would anyone expect a child, an infant to just be okay…
