As a college student living in America, my friends back home in Spain always ask if it’s anything like what they see in the movies. Lol! It’s funny because that was also my expectation. There aren’t any wild college parties, drinking, or anything like that here. Since moving to Chicago, I’ve found that basketball and getting my degree have been my main focus.

Despite all the questions that I have about my bio parents, life is pretty normal for me. Recently, I got to see the Black Panther movie with my friends, surprised my girlfriend for her birthday, and I’m ending my finals week on a good note. I really have no complaints. It’s too bad that Klay Thompson didn’t get to see any of it. Sometimes it’s hard for me to think of him as my father, but I wonder if he’d be proud of me like my coach is. I try hard not to think about it, but I guess that’s what comes with finding out you were put up for adoption.

My name is Bryce, I am currently 15 years old and I feel as if my whole life is a lie. I grew up Chicago,IL and so did my “mother.” As I grew up I slowly began to realize how I don’t look like the rest of my family. My family would always make jokes of how I was adopted, but I never thought much of it because cousins just always have something to say. While my “parents” were gone I decided to do some snooping not too long ago. I was looking for my playstation controller that my mother hid and I stumbled across some family albums instead. As I was looking through the family albums, I didn’t see many pictures of me and I thought that was pretty weird so I kept looking for more albums in hopes of finding some baby pictures. My “mother” always told that she didn’t take many pictures of me when I was a baby because we were poor at the time so I didn’t question it but under further investigation, that turned out to all be a lie. I stumbled across a file with a document inside and when I opened it, it was my birth certificate and adoption papers. I nearly almost passed out. At the time I was so convinced that I was just dreaming but, it was not a dream. When my “parents” got home I asked them about it and they got mad at me!! They asked why I was snooping and that’s none of my buisness but couldn’t even answer my questions!!
