Things I wish I knew......

Okay, so I've been asked to write a small article for the school newspaper, and well, I'm severly confused on what to write.  I know what my article has to be about, and that's adoption.  Mrs. Sullins is saying that it should be like a side story for the main editorial on teen pregnancy that a girl in my class is writing.  I was surfing the web when I found this site and they had all these adoptee's writing what they wish their adoptive parents had known or told them, and so I decided to write something like that.  But then, that doesn't really sound right for the article that it's with.  So here's what I really wish I knew (since it doesn't apply to the school newspaper, but it might help someone in the future.):

I am 16 years old and I am adopted. I was born in St. Paul, MN and was officially adopted when I was 1 week old. I have very little information on my birth mom, and even less on my birth father. I really wish that my adoptive parents could be more open about what information they have about my family. This past spring, I searched and found information on both of my parents...... I've and contact with my mom over the years, but I haven't had any contact from my dad. I don't know anything about my medical history......
I wish that my adoptive mom would help me find out more about my family. She once told me after she found me reading my papers that she didn't want me to read those or remember what I had read..... like she was hiding something from me. I've went behind her back and read some of what they say, but it's not really anything that could help me to find my family in the long run. I wish they wouldn't be so secretive about things with me, but I really don't know that they are hiding something, it's just a feeling. I used to sneak letters into the mail to my birth mother when I had her address, but now that she's on Facebook, I don't have to send snail mail anymore. There's some things that I want to ask her (my Birth mom)...... things like, why was my dad 4 years older than you....... what made you give me up for adoption....... So many things I wish I knew, but the future lies in God's hands and I'm going to trust Him.
