[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met a woman waiting for a train. I was with my daughter (who is adopted from another ethnicity, so it is sort of obvious). The woman gently asked if she was adopted. I said yes. She asked if she had been an orphan/lived in an orphanage before I got her. I said yes. She asked how old she was when she got adopted. I said 1. Then I asked how old she was when she got adopted. She said she was never adopted.

The silence hung in the air. I asked, "Well do you have a husband or children of your own now (she looked to be in her 30's)". She said "No."

I was not sure how to respond. The thought of going all through life with literally no family was just very hard for me to imagine.[/quote]
How did this change your life?[/quote]

I adopted more children so no one would have to go through life alone.[/quote]

Do you want to know what is odd? I wrote the original post, but someone else answered how it (the incident) changed their life. 🤔[/quote]
