"I wanted to share my life as an adopted child which has been very positive. Often when the subject is brought up, it is more painful stories. It's a shame not to talk about the lovely families of adopted children and adoptive parents. . My parents are great parents. They were a great couple at the start who, after many hardships to have a child, decided to adopt. After three years of a difficult and intrusive adventure, which requires constant questioning , but always with a lot of love, this gift arrived for them and for me It was a kind of three year pregnancy to finally have a four month old child. 

A not quite traditional family life began.

I feel like I always knew I was adopted.

My parents told me very quickly, using very simple words.

I don't even have a clue how old I was.

Above all, I remember people telling me that they came to get me and not that I was abandoned.

I did not have the vision of a young girl who took me out of her womb, but that of two loving people who came to seek me to give me lots of love.

"

I was just a kid with a different story from everyone else's

"

We built something together in honesty. The trials that I went through as a different child, I went through them without too many problems because everything was clear. We were all aware of the possible attacks and we were preparing to live them. I experienced these attacks like many other children at school, because I have foreign origins. I am mixed race, I have dark skin. I don't look like my parents at all. My dad has a dark complexion and is dark. You could imagine that I am my father's daughter, but not my mother's. 

It is always the problem of the difference.

These are stories that we don't understand, so we have unpleasant words or gestures.

It is due to lack of knowledge or curiosity.

We get an idea at first glance, when I was just a child with a story different from those of the others and which was not quite in the norm.

We have always lived like this.

It's not something that needs to be picked up.

"

I received a lot of love

"

I didn't have this need to know who my birth parents were. There is the blood connection, but there is also something else. I got everything I needed pretty quickly. A lot happens in four months for a baby, but meeting my parents happened quickly. I received a lot of love. I was able to flourish. I was able to do what I wanted, up to my job. I am a musician. It took a lot of practice when I was young. They allowed me to flourish. In the world of the Arts, the difference is a strength. So I felt good.

I have never been on a quest.

It was not taboo at home.

I knew I had the chance.

My parents never told me it would be terrible if I looked for my birth parents.

But the subject was never really there either.

It's not part of my mind, of my life, of my path.

Adopted people would tell me: 'When you have a child, you will see things differently.'

So I waited.

I'm a mom, but it didn't make me want more.

I became more aware of the journey and especially of the magnificent gesture that my parents had made.

Nine months of pregnancy is nothing next.

I tell myself that if I had to change my mind, it might be when my parents died. Never say never. Today I don't think it would hurt them that I'm looking for. They might be surprised, because it would come out of nowhere. When I tell my story, I often say that things were said and things went on like in a family with laughter and tears. 

My parents were loving parents, people waiting to give a lot of love. It is a meeting. I have a lot of positive in me. My father was probably very young and one of my parents was of Moroccan origin. So, I understand why I have this skin color. Since my father was very young, I tell myself that she made the right decision, because at 40 years old, everything is going very well in my life. I am happy."
