“Growing up I never felt that I had support from my birth family and friends. Being adopted always made me feel like everyone would give up on me and I always had to be hyperindependant. Honesty, I am still pretty independent, however, my parents always remind me that they are there for me and support me no matter what happens. Knowing I have support from my parents means so much and it motivates me to make them proud.”
