I’m adopted & it’s a wonderful thing. If anyone reads this and is adopted, let me tell you something: Never let anyone tell you that your parents aren’t real parents. They are. I was told at a young age that my parents weren’t real, so I didn’t have to obey them. A horrible lie. Whether biological or adopted, your parents are real, true parents. God has given me wonderful parents & I could never want any other. God bless.

Elsie, Wow, Nice!
A correction to my last comment (Noah’s) – She does have a dad, he ran away, though.
