I, too, was adopted, Mark, by wonderful parents. I had some athletic ability, but would have loved to have had my Dad's speed. He was a Big Ten halfback. I saw him take punts once against the high school varsity and they couldn't even touch him he was that quick and elusive.
Note: From my earliest memory we celebrated the "anniversaries" of both my and my sister's adoptions. We had little celebrations just within the family like a b'day party including gifts. We knew from the beginning that we were adopted....but that it was a good a joyous thing. My sister and I were the fortunate ones!! That date, to me, is just as important as my birthday.
