Ah yeah, that might be those
I don't really remember, I really didn't focus my attention on those. All I remember was that I couldn't see the corridor outside. Maybe they've got a couple of those rooms?

Yeah - kinda crazy experience but one I wouldln't change for the world.

On another adoption note... Australian world champion female surfer, Layne Beachly, I just found out the other day, is adopted. I was reading a snippet of her biography about how her birth mother found her - just before a championship, and over the phone before meeting each other, told her that she was the product of rape.... rough huh?

For some reason, this year I've found myself seeking out adoption and people to talk to about it! Maybe its from seein my birth mother again, becoming a mother, doing speeches for adoption and just generally getting older! But i'm really enjoying reading about all different stories and outcomes of adoption!

Hi everyone!
There are some amazing and particularly interesting accounts in this forum.

I am writing to all of you because I myself am an adoptee from Guatemala and am currently researching adoption, race, and identity.

I am in the process of writing a senior sociology thesis at the University of San Francisco. If anyone would be interested in participating in a Confidential interview with me I would love to talk to you - and pehaps others adoptees you know.
What I am focusing on is the conceptualization of a racial identity of a transracial adoptee (mainly minority children with white parents) and the effects of other siblings on this conceptualization. So, if you have another transracially adopted sibling please try and contact me - if not I still can use testimonies from those who have a certain connection (or disconnection) to a racial identity

My name is nick and i hope to hear from y'all. Thanks.
If interested please contact me through e-mail - new.york.005@hotmail.com - or by phone - 516.297.7440
