請回答第 46 題至第 50 題：
I think that being adopted is a lot like being left-handed. You just don’t notice it unless someone else points it out. I
was constantly hearing the comment, “Jason’s not really your brother, is he?” Not being the particularly shy and reclusive
type, I would oftentimes meet a comment like that with raised eyebrows, and a “No, Jason comes from Mars, and I was
born right here on the planet Earth.” My brother, Jason, and I were both adopted. Jason was born in Michigan and I, in
Korea. Together with my parents we made a family. I can’t say that I am really offended when people see our family
together and inquire about it. Education has done a lot to promote the idea that families are made in many ways. Still,
there are times when I wish that it were not so obvious that we are different.
It wasn’t until I was in my teens that I started to realize that I came from another country, another culture, and that
given different circumstances, my life would be completely different. I felt different for the first time. I felt unsure about
who I was and had a hard time resolving that. At first I denied my heritage; I wanted to be like everyone else. Fortunately
for me, I have the most wonderful parents in the world! They stood by me and when I finally was ready to explore my
feelings and needs, they were there to guide and share with me. From one extreme, I went to the other, and immersed
myself in learning about my Korean heritage and the history of my birth-country. Slowly I moved towards the middle
ground, and am now happily at peace with who I am. I want to say, however, that having a supportive and loving family
was essential in reaching the place that I now am.
