John was adopted. He was...
John was adopted. He was never told about it until he had figured it out for himself and started asking questions. He loved his adopted parents, but he always felt that there was some sort of shame involved in his past. He thought about his real parents and wondered how much his adopted parents really loved him. He almost felt that he owed them something because they had "bought" him. Jane was also adopted. She was told about it from the beginning, but in such a way that she was proud of it. She was a special child, a "chosen" child, who had made two people such proud and happy parents.
