Ya Never Know
One thing about growing up adopted, is that you always bump into other adoptee's, but you never run into birthparents.
A few years ago, I was at a New Year's party with friends, and I noticed this woman I've seen around socially, we had mutual friends and acquaintances. I tried chatting her up in the past, but it never moved beyond the most basic of social pleasantries.
But this being a social gathering, there were mutual friends about, and I thought I try cruising her, you know, ratch it up a notch......none the less, she wasn't going for it. Had an enjoyable evening nonetheless.
Then a few months ago I was watching a video on youtube that the woman who runs Musings of the Lame blog and there she was. To say I was surprised was an understatement.
I was surprised because till that moment, maybe because all the birthparents I've been exposed to have been a generation older than me, maybe its simply because I sorta knew her, but in reality, you just never really know. And now at times I catch myself wondering about various people I cross paths with during my daily events.
