From the Graduate
I was raised by amazing and loving parents and have always had a close relationship with my biological family. My parents became very close to my birth parents’ families before I was born. After placement, they blended my biological family with their own extended family. I have never had to question why I was placed for adoption or who my biological parents were or who I had inherited certain qualities or characteristics from. Adoption has given me a unique perspective on the healing power of relationships. I also realize the personal sacrifice and heartache that went into my being placed for adoption and what the word, "family" truly means. I feel complete because of the blending of my two families which grounded me in never having to question who I am and who I was meant to be.
