Being Me

I was adopted. I was raised in an orphanage in early days of my life. Though I didn’t spend much time there but it felt like a lifetime. There were a lot of other kids, some older than me, some younger, some a bit scarier, some a bit scared.  One day my adopted dad came to the orphanage looking for some lost kid, he decided to bring me to his human kids – 3 boys, two of them twins. I was cute little thing so in couple of days kids got really attached to me soon. Even my adopted mom adored me but she didn’t want another kid to look after because the twins were always causing havoc. In the hope of convincing Mom, Dad took me to Mom’s Parent’s house.  At the time I could barely walk and my Mom’s parents have the shiniest floor I have ever seen. I could see my face on it. You see my Mom’s parents love kids because there aren’t any kids at my Mom’s Parent’s house. Though My Mom’s Sister lives with them but she is hardly a kid. They all loved me, after so many protests by Mom and tearful drama by Big Brother and the twins, it was decided that I will be living in their house. After spending hours on internet my brothers found me a new name -Taigo.  

Everyone knew instantly that I was adopted because I looked so different from my family.  I love people, some of them love me back but most of them are afraid of me even though I haven’t done anything to them. When I want to play with them they run away from me. When they touch me they wash their hands. I think people are very strange. They are not very kind to someone who doesn’t look like normal people. Anyways I don’t pay much attention to them. I have got a loving family and I think that’s all that matters.
