"It’s interesting being me, and subsequently being on the
margins. Among married friends with babies, among single friends with
confusion; I’m not easily categorized into a common denominator. When it
comes to babies (and besides the general terror I feel regarding expelling a child from my womb), things are fuzzy. And, aside from stolen, when a baby is to be mine, I don’t particularly care where it comes from.
I am adopted. This is a fundamental component of my identity. And, as
such, I’m feeling pretty prescribed to someday be the adopter; to
overflow my adopted blessings into the life of another. As it were,
November happens to be Adoption Awareness Month in Canada, so prepare to
be made aware."
