Who Am I?
When my parents told me the news that I was adopted, it didn’t shock me. I knew that I was different. I have black hair and deep brown eyes, and both my parents have hazel eyes and blond hair. I was told I took after my grandfather who died before my time. Conveniently, no one had pictures.
I decided to track my biological parents. Now we’re meeting for the first time at their home, and I have a lot of questions.
I stood outside pondering whether to go in since I may not like the answers.
I turned and left.
