Being adopted I have friends where the son never bothered, but the daughter did seek out her mother, only after meeting realized what you have mentioned, it is the people who brought you up who count.
Very fortunate you parents were always open and honest, knowing from a young age you were adopted, preparing you for life to follow.
Thanks for this incredible story and lesson in life @snook
It really is. For better or worse they are your parents.
I never understood the not telling a child...the "waiting for a good time" there is never a good time for anything loll
Thank You for your great comment!!
