Are you ADOPTED?
And don't know if you're Irish, Scottish, Welsh, German, Italian, Slavic, Norwegian, Armenian, Tralfamadorian or WHATthefuck?



And you wish you did?

2. I'm 13% Tralfamadorian,
but more than this, I'm human.

5. I am, but I don't. I suspect my father was Jimmy Swaggert, though.
Just because he was rampant in Baton Rouge in the 60s. :rofl:

8. adopted
I still have my bio mother, but I was adopted by her second husband...I don't know my bio fathers background, so I claim my adoptive fathers lineage.

9. According to the lady who does past life regressions, I spent some time on another planet.
And yes, I'm adopted. Sort of. Not legally, but given away to some very nice people who I thought were my parents. So I was Irish until I was 26 and found out my parents weren't my parents. Guess I can be whatever I want, including Raxacoricofallapatorian. :shrug:

12. I am adopted and supposedly
German, Scottish and Hungarian. But who the hell knows how good the record keeping was back in 67?

13. Technically, yes.
Maternal grandparents adopted me after parent's divorce when I was little. Worked out pretty well for me, seeing the shit my little brother had to endure.

14. Yes I am.
But I do know that I am 100% Greek. That is where my adoption took place. My adoptive parents are not Greek. :)

15. Adoptions are currently all open ...
more or less. The era of closed adoptions are over.

and our adopted little girl will eventually get to meet her birth mother, if they both want to.
