In case anyone was curious, I think my parents were married about 5 years before they got me? (I'd have to ask to refresh my memory.)
But I was adopted, partially because they had been waiting for what they felt was a very long time for a child.
However, it's said that I was found abandoned in a cardboard box when I was about 3 days old, so it's quite possible I was born to a single mother, and single motherhood is abhorrent in the culture I was born into. It's also well-known that stable married couples don't usually give away their children.
Maybe my birth mother just knew I was the "spawn of Satan" -- and decided to get rid herself of me as soon as possible.
But no matter who she is or what her story may be, I will always give her credit for carrying me to full term.
