New Yorker: The mistress's daughter
A very touching article written by Amy Homes in this week's New Yorker. The author tells that she is an adopted girl and how she found out who her birth mother is. She finds out that she was the mistress's daughter.
Every nuance, every detail, means something. I am like a recovering amnesiac. Things I know about myself, things that exist without language—my hardware, my mental firing patterns, parts of me that are fundamentally, inexorably me—are being echoed on the other end, confirmed as a DNA match. It is not an entirely comfortable sensation.
Read the article on the New Yorker's web site.
