When I was a kid, I used to wish I was adopted. I wanted to be, so bad. I would watch Anne Of Green Gables, Annie and Pippi Longstockings (who technically wasn’t an orphan, but she was abandoned by her father so that’s good enough) over and over till the tapes wore out. But underneath all that glamour, what does it really feel like to be an orphan? “The best thing about being adopted is that I can have wonderful fantasies about my birthmother. And if you’re a dreamer, which I can be, your mother can become anyone you want her to be. I happen to like Opera a lot, so for a while my real mother was Maria Callas. She was such a strange and wonderful lady, and I thought it was neat to have such a bizarre and exotic mother. She’s dead now. She never found out what a crazy son she had!” - Phillip, age 15. I wanted Cher to be my mom. -- source link
