It is really sad when someone with a serious question and actual need must tolerate the foolishness and lack of caring as demonstrated in some of the responses. I doubt that most do not know the writer is referring to being an Orphan and potentially raised in a foster home or of parents that cared enough to adopt her/him as their own. I know of a few who have been "adopted" and the questions it leaves in the child as they grow. It would be a great support group for the adults who grew up never knowing their real parents. I really hope some will put away the temptation to play comedian or be cute and have the depth to understand the writers quest and help him or her.
