11．I went up to my mother's bedroom after her death and found a box full of papers．Inside was a letter．"Dearest Andrew，"it began，"there was never a right time to tell you．" Along with the letter was my adoption paperwork-"Parents：unknown"-and two newspapers．The first described a newborn baby，wrapped in a pink blanket，discovered on a doorstep by a paperboy．The second was from a year later，reporting that the baby was still in a children's home，yet to be adopted． It was a shock．My childhood was happy；my adoptive father died when I was eight，but my mother made sure I couldn't have had a more loving home．I didn't do anything about trying to find out my birth parents for 15 years．However，there were so many questions．Why did my mother abandon me？Did she get into trouble？I didn't feel angry with her for leaving me，but I wanted to know more about the circumstances surrounding my birth． I started to research my history and went on local television news．Amazingly，a man called Ronnie got in touch with the TV station，saying I reminded him of his father，Angus．We met up and I was surprised to see a man 20years my senior．We arranged a DNA test．The results were positive-Ronnie was my half-brother． Ronnie told me that my father would have been 60 when I was born．He died before I started my search．My father was having an affair with a young woman during the year of my birth，but she is now married with her own family and I should respect her privacy．I would like my questions answered，but not at the expense of her happiness．"Abandoned"is such a sensitive word，but I don't feel any sadness or rejection，because I don't know the circumstances of my birth．Instead，I feel unique．
