I was not adopted, but my sister and son/nephew were. I can't imagine the stresses of being adopted, maybe especially when you're old enough to understand what's happening, but my sister always raised one interesting point: if you were adopted, you were chosen!

I appreciate the sentiment of your story (I've heard similar and am touched), but I meant I was adopted by the cat (👁 ͜ʖ👁)
