[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 695495, member: 1550"] I never really cared where my DNA came from. in my opinion my family is who loves me...most are notvmy DNA. I dont really know my DNA history. I was very badly bullied as a kid, partly hecause my house and clothes werent expensive enough. My town was so Jewish that maybe two kids per year in my classroom were not. Yet they tended to be my only friends. I was more like a non Jew, if you know what I mean. And it was Jews who were tormenting me from my mom to my peers. I never did accept, what I call, culturally Jewish values. I consider it a culture as much as a religion. Long before I graduated high school, I decided Jews didn't like me, that it was mutual, and that I was leaving Jewish life behind forever. I did. Even my biological son is clueless snd disinterested in Judaism. The subject almost never comes up. We never lived near Jewish people. I dont know any. There is a cousin's club on my dads side. They are allegedly nice and very intellugrnt people. I have no interest in meeting them. They kind of scare me...lol. I really took a beating from what some would consider "my people." But my own beliefs are that nothing is an accident. Everything happens for a reason. I feel my reason was so I could love and embrace all kinds of children, no matter if their backgound matched mine or not. I consider my husbsnd and children (and maybe even my dogs...hmmmmm) to be my people. Nobody else. Interesting discussion. Made me think. [/QUOTE]
