So this is an exciting event, yes.<BR/><BR/>But you, Bellezza, were 'chosen' as an adopted child. Your adoptive parents actually wanted you and no doubt went to considerable trouble to get you. I have sometimes wondered about that, how it would feel and to what extent it really matters, as long as you are raised in a loving family. I haven't known many adopted people, but those I have known are, like you, well-adjusted and generally happy people.The Atavisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529157597486952484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-1163770504529324542006-11-17T08:35:00.000-05:002006-11-17T08:35:00.000-05:00Oh, this is so exciting for you, atavist!

I can't wait to hear the story unfold, and how blessed you are to have relatives let alone "missing" ones from the past. It must be quite thrilling to discover more people with whom you share roots (especially from my adopted perspective).Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-1163711853789896222006-11-16T16:17:00.000-05:002006-11-16T16:17:00.000-05:00I'm sure I will find more to write about as I find...I'm sure I will find more to write about as I find out more, Penny.
