Spawz, I was about seven years when they told me. Of course I never told anybody else til I was about seventeen. At that time, if you was adopted, you might just as well have had leprosy. So I carried that around for a while, and became okay with the idea but it took me about ten years to get there. It ain't so easy bein' the little bastard when yer a kid. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big old bastard now and proud to say so;~)
