i am 51 and never fit in with my adopted family either. was always the outcast, the black sheep of the family. every holiday when the family got togather, they always pointed out that i was the adopted one. i recently found my real family but becouse i feel inferior to every one growing up im having alot of trouble feeling good enough to be part of my real family now. never ending struggle

Interesting, I feel awkward because my husband and I haven't done as well as the adoptive family, and though there were difficulties, I know my son had everything, more than we could've provided, even later in life.

Also, our guilt over the adoption probably kept us from doing better.
