I felt a deep sense of heaviness and sadness.
That.
that there are so many tiles that hang and yet that is merely a small fraction of us that exist.
And there was a sense of despair at wondering if any family would ever any if any birth family members of mine would ever see this.
As far as connecting with my birth mother
it's not about gleaning specific information from her or even necessarily seeking a relationship or anything.
I've just always wanted to know who I look like cuz I've never had that before.
