What I know are the things I have read or have been told. This being the case, what I have grown up with in America is obviously different than what I could have had in Romania. The people that adopted me, my mom and dad, have given me everything I could have ever wanted in life, just like parents would do for a biological child. In class, we discussed the case study on Art, specifically fake art. When listening to the conversation, I made some connections to adoption. The first connection is the idea of “fake blood”, or in other words a child/parent relationship that is not connected by blood. Many families have issues with this because some believe it is impossible to love a child that is not “your own” but in reality, after many years of investing time into a relationship, many families become just as close as those who are truly related. The beautiful thing about this so called “fake blood” is that you can build a relationship from something that is considered out of the ordinary. No matter blood related or not, that child will grow up to love you, because you gave them a forever home. Another thing I thought of during the discussion was that, when children are given up for adoption, they are given up
