I burned down our house, and that put a strain on our family.
When you have lost people like I lost my birth mom at a young age and you remember the whole process of losing her, you want to grab on to something that makes you whole.
All I wanted to do was please my adopted family.
At first I could not believe what I was reading. I got up from my seat and walked away, talking to myself that I may have found my mom.
It takes a strong character for a person to say, 'I can't do it.
When you're growing up, you want to feel part of something.
You want to try to find your heritage.
