My opinion my conviction gains immensely in strength and sureness the minute a second mind as adopted it.

When you're adopted no matter what you've got issues with unconditional love. And you find out you're the product of the worst situation for a young girl to be in and start her life and I'm so grateful that my birth mom made the decision she made. She came from a rough situation.
