And they didn't treat me any worse than my siblings. They definitely loved me. But I'm not sure I was quite something either of my parents wanted at the time. I think that's okay because they still committed to my care, loved me, and raised me. You don't have to be planned for. But I think it is likely nice to know that your parents went out of their way to acquire you, because they really wanted to have and raise you.
