Carol's story

I have always felt a need to justify my feelings. I've recently realized this is both a symptom of my upbringing as well as a feeling that somehow I don't fit in. The fact that I am a woman compounds this problem

Kathy's story

I have a huge family- but must admit that as I grow older, I feel less connected in some ways. I am so happy to have 2 children of my own who look like me. That has probably been one of the most basic things that I always longed for- someone who looked like me.

Angela's Story

I never felt like I was missing something growing up adopted. I was loved and never felt any different or was treated differently. I think having children of my own made me appreciate more what it means to be blood related.
