My birth mother (Naomi) was beautiful, talented, skiny and easily loveable all things she seemed to pass onto me. My birth father (Winston) was smart, level headed, strong, a quick learner and charming, again traits I had inherited. I only sort of remember them, I lived with them and was loved by them for 5 years of my life until they discovered they could no longer have children. Blaming their infadality on their only child, they sent me away to live with my mothers cousin in New Zealand. Far away from them. I was, from that day on known to my birth parents as the child that cursed their family. Great. [Note the sarcasm] I didn't hate my birth parents though and I don't think I ever could, but I also don't think I could ever really love them. I didn't call them 'Mom' or 'Dad' I called them Naomi and Winston. The closest thing I ever did to hating my birth parents was letting people know I was adopted by reffering to Naomi and Winston as my 'birth parents'. I was adopted by my aunt a short year after she took me in
My Aunt (Sophia) had an undying craving of oreos (which I caught, kinda like a illness... but yummy), she wasn't rich and there were times where she struggled by herself, she couldn't imagin the kind of cruelty of dumping a child in that situation, she worked hard, ran into a nice guy, literally, whom she had dated for a loong time a year before I popped into the picture they grew apart since he moved to New York (his name is Andrew),they fell deeper in love with each other, rekindled their romance and finally got married (I was 7 when that happened) and they both worked their asses off trying to provide for me (not gonna lie it helped when Andrew revealed that he was rich though we rarely went that way for money, it was called the 'emergency fund' usually used to pay bills). We moved from New Zealand to New york with him into a small but amazing 2-3 bedroom apartment when I was 13. I got a job as soon as I could (1 month later) and Sophia decided it would be better to finish my education through homeschooling thanks to Andrews teaching skills it was possible. We worked up a significant fortune by the time I was fifteen and since my birth parents were finally able to have another child (Mary) they started "donating" significantly ($1,000 each person each month -they didn't know about Andrews secret wealth) but decided it would be best if I stayed away. Far far far away.
