My aunt Hannah is adopted. She’s a great role model to me, and got me hooked on my favorite show. Without her, I might not even be watching My Little Pony. She taught me that family isn’t just blood, that being overweight is cool, and Tinker Bell is freakin’ awesome.
I love my aunt. I can’t imagine life without her.

Well my uncle is adopten but he is a blood relative. When he was little Both of his parents died.So he was adopted by my grandparents,and his brother was adopted by my grandfather's twin brother.

So, what was the blood relationship between your grandpa and your uncle?

My cousins. Let's just say that their parents abandoned them after their separation and my grandparents ended up being their guardians.

My step-father has been trying to adopt me since I was six.... It's been thirteen years and I don't have a say in it till I'm 21.

I was adopted by some very nice people when I was 8 months old. Wouldn't trade them for the world.
