Its a critical question and the response depends on one's perspective. Being adopted does not start from me neither would it finish with me but this depends on how i got to realised it and how it is presented t me.
I have had stories of people being adopted that couldn't trace their background or family any longer aside the new family that incorporates them. This is because of the kind of love and concerned display by the families they happened to find themselves in.
A guy that lives in my village was adopted at the early stage of his life after the demise of his biological father. He grew up eith this new family such that he has no idea about any other place aside this his new home. As time progresses, he realised that he is not a biological child of the man. This never made him feel so inferior because of the kind of parents that adopted him and the positive display by his wonderful children.
It would interest you to know that the adopted child really enjoyed himself and all the treasures that situation brought. The guy and man's children couldn't believe it because it was too real to be debated. The children never showed any sgn of discrimination or manner of biasness. He enjoyed the harmonious relationship and coordinating with this family such that his name even changed to bear the name of his adopted parents. The children even showed him more love and better things again and again.
The question for this week 135 edition 1 is quite amazing because it requires me to share what i believe would happened if I realised that I am the only adopted children amidst my foster parents. When i noticed this, apparently i may not be happy however theere are certain factors that may determine my next like of action?
As a human being, my first reaction won't be palatable at all because it depends on my age at that particular time. The capacity to absorb shock is on the strength of one's age and exposure. Let's say i am mature and have great capacity to control my emotional status. After my first reaction, i will quickly check how has my relationship been with the children and family.
If its a lovely and lively family, it won't really moved me because u have been able to develop good rapport with everyone in the family. I definitely know that the children won't be happy with this breaking new but because they've know my quantum input towards their development they will be positive.
On the other hand, if the family isn't hospitable definitely it will be a major setback to the children and myself. The garment of joy would be changed to something else. Their positive actions would will be smeared with the action. Being identified as an adopted child it will make me feel so low and insecured from the hands of the entire family.
I may not have courage again to continue with life haven enjoyed such a luxurious privileges at the first instance.
picture is mine
It will be quite challenging if I found i was adopted in a wrong and wicked family.
Thanks so much for reading through.
