Just some random thoughts.

There's one major plus about being adopted.
Freedom from certain things.
You don't feel like you need to BE your parents. Well, to me at least.
I feel like I was born with a certain degree of separation from my adoptive parents, and a WHOLE lot of separation from my birth parents. I've never felt a full connection to anybody. While it can be pretty lonely, you really get to know yourself.
This is how I feel -
Picture this.. There's a puzzle that's missing a piece. You find a piece that fits perfectly, but its from a different puzzle. The pattern isn't the same but it still fits and makes the puzzle whole.. That's how I feel.. Like that puzzle piece.
I fit in, but I don't at the same time.
I feel like an independent soul.

I don't look like anybody.. act like anybody.. I am me..
My parents have always said "You knew exactly who you were, at the age of 8..."
Why?
I didn't get my temper from my dad.. My brains from my mom...
Becky is Becky.
I don't feel like I need to live up to anybody... I don't feel afraid of turning into so-and-so..
I'm not following in anybody's footsteps, I'm blazing a whole new trail.
People look at me like "aww" when I say I'm adopted.. Why? Its never something to be sympathetic about.
I get "don't be like that.." when I say that I have no desire to meet anybody else from my birth family. I'm really OK.
