While that could be taken nicely, am I the only one, who sees the implication, that "you really weren't hers, so you're really not one of us, but we still want to see you, anyway"?
I thought it was a sh*tty thing to say. I mean, I was adopted at birth....it's not like I didn't come along until I was 15, or something.... Bitch!

My mother commented once on my daughter's height and said something along the lines of, "well, she must get it from my side of the family." We ALL tend to forget that Laney didn't come from my body. She is so much a part of us, it's ridiculous. I think that was a ****ty thing for your aunt to say.
