im also adopted. I feel with the whole abandonment thing its just a feeling of wanting to know where you came from. Ive been thinking about that a lot. It does affect the way I look at relationships with the opposite sex. I feel that I need to be cool with everyone or i'll be alone so its hard for me to kick things up to the next level with a girl sometimes. I'm actually going through that right now. Anyway my adopted parents are the best you could hope for. ANyway yeah that was my 2 cents
