It took me a while to understand the "I was what !?" but then I looked at the title, and absolutely burst out laughing. I myself am adopted. Thankyou for this interesting read, I'm looking forward to reading more.. Dana'lynn

I know we shouldn't lie to children.But why take away the magic of childhood?When they really want to know, that's the time for reality.One of our grandsons,realised at 7-How could Santa get round the world in one night he said-Everything else then fell into place.He now asks me about God.All I can do is try to show him by example, the rest he learns in school.I love your humour cynicism, and wit James.Also food for thought.Thank you for comments on All....Hope it inspires any in need.Love June.
