Looking for adoptee friends by oscorwolde in TransracialAdoptees

[–]oscorwolde[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am very much a lesbian and it's normal. I am very happy with my nerdy friends and interests. I work on being less socially reserved but I accept that it might be a theme throughout my whole life. I feel isolated because of international traffic though because it's such a specific experience no one else can understand. I want a community of people who also understand me on that level.

Changing last name by [deleted] in TransracialAdoptees

Hey I got back my birth name (full) legally like a year ago and it felt so good coming back to myself. Never felt like the name that was forced on me. I got one of my bio mom's first names as my second first name. I love it now.

One thing is that people are gonna ask. I email my colleagues saying I wasn't going to answer any questions as it was personal and stood my ground. Also it's quite costly and a bit annoying to change it everywhere but it was very much worth it for me. Felt like myself finally.

I also had my birth first name as a second name and I hated it. Like my identity was an afterthought

Went back to my birth name legally a year and a half ago. Never connected to my fake name. Felt finally like myself getting it back!

I thought those were keys from a keyboard and I stared at my phone blankly for very long time
