I sent off for my original birth certificate a few months ago. Finally the good folks at the IDPH have cashed the check which indicates my certificate is on the way. I’ve been waiting…and alternating between obsessing about what will be on it and completely forgetting about it, which wasn’t all that hard since being adopted isn’t a huge deal on my day-to-day basis. This shouldn’t be relevant at all…my parents are two amazing people that have raised me since I was six weeks old.
But it is.
It really is.
I have questions that I might finally get answered. I say ‘might’ because there’s no way I can know if my biological parents want to be found and if I do find them, it’s not for sure that they’ll answer my questions or even be able to.
