Where Would I Run To?
Being adopted is not a big deal as so many people have made it true in this regard. I have seen a family who were struggling to beat children, and after staying for ten years without a child, they decided to adopt a child, which happened to be a girl. They were taking care of the adopted child just as if they were the ones who gave birth to her. They gave her true love and care and also gave her a sound education. My husband happened to have taught that child both home lessons and at his school.
The way the family carried the girl was extraordinary as I was also close to them during those times. This girl later finished school and was processing her admission into the university before an unwanted and unforeseen circumstance came up and took the life of this girl. They were in grief and were unhappy throughout and even for more than two years. After a few years, the woman conceived at an old age of about 65 years. It was a miracle, but before then, people were placing their different meanings to what would have caused the death of that girl. They said the couple were involved in a money ritual and that's why they were unable to give birth to children.
She gave birth to twins, which put their enemies to shame.
This woman did not relent as she had said that she still wanted to adopt a child and feel the taste of many children. She went ahead to adopt a boy. She showed that boy true love and also gave the same love to his twins.
There are some cases where the adopted child would suffer when the couple finally has their children, but this case I just explained was quite different.
Back to the promptIf I found out suddenly that I'm an adopted child, I wouldn't mind saying a word, only if I'm being taken good care of. If the ones who adopted me were taking good care of me, I would only thank them for choosing me as their child.
My question now is, where would you run to if you finally discovered that the ones you call your parents are your adopted parents?This is the main reason why I just have to take it the way it is. I'm pretty sure that I will be taken care of even though they later have children. However, most parents always want to put their children first, even after making the adopted child number one at the beginning.
Although it is difficult to deal with when my other siblings are the biological children, then I just have to let it be and maintain my place in the house. I will still call them my parents, although most outsiders would look down on me and would give me names which would make me feel bad. Despite that, I'm still their child no matter what, except if they decide to chase me out, which I guess cannot happen.
Keeping such secrets from me may not look nice, but at least some secrets are better left secret than saying them out just to save relationships. Supposing I had an idea of who I was before now, I would have found my way out of the house. Now that I know the secret, I just have to deal with it without being hurt.
