Life Adventures

Humbled and Empowered


I posted two anonymous blurry photos of a woman and a man.  This is to show that many adoptees have no idea who their biological parents are or who they look like. 

My birth mother was raised in a Christian family. She was non-Jewish. 

My birth father was a Syrian Jew born in Aleppo who came from a dynasty of rabbis traced to the first temple of Jerusalem. 

I never cared if my birth mother was a princess or a prostitute. I never cared if my birth father was a king or a beggar.  I just wanted to know how I arrived on planet earth.  Although my early days were filled with bewilderment, I am now finally fully content, humbled, and empowered.  I am now proud to be part of the human species. 

To adoptees who are searching-never give up!  The joy that may await you will far exceed the burden of your long journey.

  1. What I do not comprehend is how you are not more well-liked than you are at this moment. You are exceptionally intelligent and have come to this subject from so many different perspectives that it has caused me to consider it from my own depths. It seems that men and women are not particularly interested in this subject until it involves Lady Gagas. Your personal belongings are always nice. Keep up the work.
