Excerpt
When I first started out on this adventure,
I wasn’t prepared for what I’d find. At
the same time, I couldn’t wait to find out what was lurking in the shadows of
my past. Adoption was done so differently back then. Babies were often adopted
with a handshake, not the mounds of red tape that it takes nowadays. I guess I should be thankful that loving
parents found me – although that description is a bit of a stretch.
My dad showed me love and kindness. Mom,
on the other hand, was not very warm or kind, and occasionally could be
physically abusive. She always seemed to be irritated with me.
When I was old enough to read, I had been given a newspaper clipping about my
earliest beginnings with the family. The clipping said I was found lying on a
bed and was estimated to be about nine months old. I tried to visualize the
look on their faces when they saw this bundle of unexpected joy. I’ve also
wondered how on earth a nine-month-old stayed still on a strange bed, in a strange house no less! It would be years
later that I found my first clue that maybe Mother wasn’t telling the whole
truth.
I had a half-sister, Teresa, from my dad's first marriage – at least that’s what they said.
She didn’t like me all that much either. She was about sixteen years older than
me, and for the longest time, I wondered if she could be my real mom, and the
half-sister story was just a cover. The animosity she felt for me intensified
over the years.
