sunny asked:


What expectations did you have? Adoptees did you think your parents would be ‘in love’ with you, and love you ‘unconditionally’? And natural parents, did you expect that from your children, or expect to feel that way yourselves?

Personally, I had NO expectations. I was just relieved when I found out that she didn’t live in a trailer, going on the information I had from the agency.

After time, years, I grew to love my mother. But it was always completely familiar, of course, because we were as closely related as two people can be. We have the same favorite color, and tastes in art, music, decor, movies, hobbies, the list goes on.

Do tell…
BIG thank you to Phil for the interesting facts about siblings, twins, and DNA!
