Adopted kids always call their parents mom and dad,
but deep down, they feel like there's something missing,
and that "something" bothers them until they figure it out.
Everyone else knows whose features they have,
where they got their interests,
why they think the way they do,
how they got all of their values.
An adopted child will say, "I wish I knew my birth parents."
Other people will say, "If I were you, I wouldn't care. They left you."
But how can they say that when they haven't been through the same thing?
How can they say that when they know the answers and the rest of us still have questions?
Sometimes, I feel like there's no point in trying to explain it.
It's just this feeling, this hope, that we'll get answers because we need them.
We feel entitled to them because we were closed off during our childhood.
Now, it's our choice to find out a possibly scary truth, something worth a risk.
No matter how fulfilling a childhood is,
adulthood's much longer, much emptier.
Childhood's for dreaming; adulthood's for reality.
Childhood's for changes; adulthood's for acceptance.
We'll take the stages of grief,
analyze them one by one,
face them will full confidence,
find what was always ours,
and look ahead, look ahead, look ahead.

I love this line! i can't find the exact word to describe it, simply, brave yet modest.
