“Adoption is not an affliction.  There are no star-studded benefits or telethons to raise money for adoptees.  In a world looking for solutions, adoption is a solution.  Not a problem.

Or, so they say.

To the millions of people who answer to the name “adoptee”, adoption is something of a paradox, an enigma.  It is a question in the form of a riddle.  “Who am I?”

Some adoptees wonder.  Others search.

I wondered.  And then I searched.

What I learned along the way was more than just finding my missing links.  I learned that all of us are adoptees.”
