as an adopted child removed away from my culture...I can relate!
That article blew my mind because my blond/blue-eyed "father" used to scream in my face "don't look at me with those eyes!!" What gut wrenching memories that brought back!!!!
I recently asked my "mother" in a melt down "if she was happy and fulfilled~knowing that she robbed me from my culture, religion, language and people"...she answered that I should be "over it" by now and that it really didn't matter.
It didn't matter so much to her to ask ANYTHING about my bio-family. Infact, she THREW OUT any papers concerning the matter which has left me with NOTHING other than non-identifing info from Albany.
I feel like my whole life is a lie. My "name", the "culture" I have been handed, religion that was taught...EVERYTHING....but worse is I have NOTHING to pass down to my children :(
