Poll: Adopted

[Fidelias]

Doubtful, I look almost exactly like my dad when he was younger. I have also found out that procrastination can be a genetic trait, seeing as my grandpap, dad, and I all have it.

I have 3 Korean cousins that were adopted and one of my friends has been 4 or 5 adoptive parents.

Myself though? Nope. Me and my brother were born into this family.

I don't look or even remotely sound/act like my parents and I look like my girlfriend... Let us not go down that road.

1# I feel even more along now
2# Anyone you know who is adopted is ok. It's rare in a family that one child will be blood born and others adopted but it happens. Some really interesting stories though so far.

Don't be sad, we're all family here on the Escapist!

And by the way, I love your username! Just thought it sounded cool.

My mom was adopted, she met her biological mother as an adult. It went well (I guess), they aren't particularly close and my mom doesn't hold any grudges about the circumstances of her adoption. One of her half siblings has a kid that looked a lot like me. My mom's brother is also adopted, he never cared to look. Also, one of my friends in high school was adopted and he also didn't have any interest in his biological parents.

I'm not adopted at least I don't think so and neither is my brother.

My siblings and I all resemble one another and our parents in some way, so I'm pretty sure none of us are adopted. Anyhow, my parents are the type who'd discuss this with us anyway. I hope. I have a friend who's adopted; he's Korean and his parents are of a Western background. He grew up in Australia but he's been to Korea and he said he feels more at home there. I don't think he's met his birth parents, he hasn't told me that he wants to, but he has said many times that he doesn't feel the culture here suits him.

Man this is a large and strange family.

My username came from me trying to come up with a X-box live profile name. HauntedSerenity just sounds good when it rolls off your tounge and bullets slam into your foe.

As far as I know, I'm not adopted, and neither is my sister.

 

[dfphetteplace]

Yes, both me and my sister are adopted.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'm not adopted, and no one in my immediate or distant family is.

I'm adopted, no clue who my birth father is, even my birth mother isn't sure (makes her seem like a slut, eh?) I don't know much of anything about my birth mother aside from that she would write letters on my birthday and holidays such as Christmas. She also gave me up because she already had another son and had been a "bad mother (not my words)" to him and she was afraid to do it again so she rather give me up to a loving family instead. Though she only lives in the next state over (Connecticut, I'm in Rhode Island) I still haven't met her. By the time I found out that she lived close, my desire to meet her had pretty much gone away. I don't think it's a bad idea, I just don't care about it anywhere near as much as I did when I was younger.
