Its funny when you are with family you see the things that are similar about you. For instance my sister and I love all of the same types of food, and we prepare our food the same way, or when we go out to a restraunt we will order the same thing. When it comes to music though we are completly different she likes punk music and so does my brother, where mom and I like music we can dance to and has a good beat.
The whole family loves ice cream, everybody does doesnt matter what flavor, we will eat any. We all dislike onions, tomatoes, and watermelon though, its weird I figured I was just odd like that but my family is like me. The difference between us though they could care less about politics, yes they have personal beliefs but it doesnt matter to them, where as me if somebody said something about politics that I strongly disagreed with it would start a debate.
I guess what I mean is no matter if you adopted or not your family can be dissimillar, but a like in minute ways. I more like my adopted family then I realized, growing up with there values, and beliefs impacts who you are. One trait I'm glad I did not inheret though, my dad can manipulate people very well, and so can my mom my brother and sister as well why not me. Common beliefs they way I was raised.
The impact of my parents I didnt realize until now, but I couldnt be more thankful to be adopted, yes I still love my birth family Im not say I dont like them, but I'm the only one of us that wants to attend college, and who has a job. Thank you mom and dad for pushing me and morphing me into what I am.
Bree,
ReplyDeleteBoth my brother and sister are adopted, and we grew up as close as siblings can be. We have tons of similarities because of our upbringing. We also have some big differences. I met my older half brother later in life. We didn't grow up together, but it is shocking to discover how much we have in common. It's like I've found the missing pieces. I guess we are both lucky to have so many people to love. :)
