Thanx to everyone who gave me such a warm welcome. I am enjoying being here with all of you.

[COLOR=purple] Well hello there! (I'm in a purple mood today ) I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Anna, but everyone calles me Urchin, or Urchin Girl. It's a nickname that started in the theatre. I don't know how it really came about or anything like that, one day the director, Maureen (Mo) called me Urchin Girl. At first I hated it, and fought the nic with everything I had. But it grew on me (obviously) and I can't even remember why I didn't like it.
Anyway, I'm adopted. I know both my biological parents, though I only -just- met my biological father. He's really sweet, but he keeps regretting that he didn't find out if I really was alive and what not. He'd heard rumors about Pam (my biological mother) having a son. Yes, she lied to my grandmother, but that's another story. I love him very much though, and it's wonderful to finnaly know who he is. And quite a relief that he even wanted to know who I am. I understand that the meeting alone is pretty rare. I'm lucky enough to have biological parents who love me as much as my adoptive parents.
Wow I've babbled a lot. That's okay though, because I'm supposed to be introducing myself, aren't I? Hee! Well I've an older brother (my adoptive parents son) Daniel. He's an artist living in Wilmington. I'm very proud of him. He's followed his dream and not given up, inspite of the hardships it's caused him.
I've two half brothers both Pams. They're pretty cool, but it can get a bit akward at times. I've only known them a few years, and get to see them very rarely. But we try.
I'm very much into theatre and reading. Obviously Celtic music and culture as well. If any of you have any questions for me, drop me a line, I'll try to answer them as best I can.
Welcome to our happy little community Urchin! It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm looking forward to getting to know you in the forums.

Hi urchin girl. My brother and I are adopted too. We are biological. It was a buy one get one free deal. I was the free one. They wanted an infant boy and he was the only one available. We had to go together. I also gave birth to a baby for another couple. I have now been on both sides of the ordeal. It is great you know who your birth parents are. Thanx for sharing your story.
Hi there, gypseyreyne! Nice to meet you! I think it's wonderful that you're on both ends of the spectrum in the adoption category. There are so many families who don't have children who'd love them. So I'd like to thank you for that. I look forward to talking more with you and others.
