Mamma Loves has always known she was adopted.

What she didn’t know was her ethnicity. Where did her blue eyes and freckles come from? People typically assume she’s Irish.  Is she or isn’t she? That’s one of the question about her heritage that she’s been dying to know for a multitude of years.

And that’s why I nominated her a Perfect Post.  What many people (who aren’t adopted) often take for granted is the fact that they know their genetic background (or at least a good part of it). Whether a person is African American, Asian, German, Scottish or a mixture? Most people have an idea.  But there’s so much more to that question.

What she also discusses is not just the wondering but the longing to be a part of a culture. So she makes a decision. She writes about it HERE. To me, this post captures Amie’s personality perfectly — insightful, smart, and spirited.
