#option

As comfortable as I was with my adoption, the nature-versus-nurture question has been a big one for me. I adore my parents, but I always wondered if I would feel a different kind of love-not more or less, just different-for someone who was biologically related. ↗

And then, in a terrifying flash of clarity, he realized it would never end. ↗
