As for me

So I told you that I work at a Deli
Well now i'm going to be working at the college I go to in the education department. It will be better for me in the long run. The deli was really understanding and I'm thankful that if I am ever in the need of a job I can return there.

I wanted to tell you a little about me, I am not really giving anything away because we all know that I was adopted in the long run. I wanted to tell you a little bit about how it has effect me and my lifestyle.

At a very young age my parents decided to tell each of my siblings that we were adopted.
My parents could not have children. When my parents were trying to have children, medicine was not what is now. All the types of treatments for women and even suragate mothers were very experimental. However my mom was very determine to have children of her own.

My mother drove down many weekends to texas to get treatments and while my mom was gone my Dad stayed in town to work. One afternoon while my mom was gone my father got a call. The call was about my brother. One of my parents friends knew my parents were having trouble getting pregnant and was going to offer the idea of adoption. The friend had a family and baby in mind and asked my father if he was interested in adopting him. Instead of my loving father asking if it was okay he just commited. He did call her either because he had no way of contacting her, because cell phones were nonexisting. When my mother came home my father told her the news and she was not at all happy. She was not happy until she held my brother in her arms. The child was no longer the adopted child but her son.

My father always tells me that we may not be bonded by blood but we are bonded by love. My mother and father then adopted me about four years later and then my little sister two years later. They decided to tell us that we were adopted before any of us can remember. My brothers first sentence was "I Love You" and my first word was "daddy." But what was said to me within the first moments of my life from my birthmother is what really helped mold me into who I am today...
