You Don't Look Adopted Quotes

“When you are in conflict with yourself it’s like you’re a car whose gas pedal is also the brake. It’s hard to get anywhere.”
― Anne Heffron, You Don't Look Adopted

“I was four people jammed into one: I was the me that my mom wanted; I was the me I would have been if my birth mom had kept me; I was the me I would have been if another family had adopted me; and I was the me that was just me. I couldn’t commit to one, and so I was a little bit of all four, and this made me unpredictable and unknowable both to those around me and to myself.”
― Anne Heffron, You Don't Look Adopted
