When you’re meeting someone face to face for the first time, you wonder how it will be. What will they notice? How should you dress? What do you say?

I listened while two adopted teenagers interviewed each other about what surprised them most when they first met their adoptive parents.

Ashley’s adoptive parents were in their late forties. She said she’d never thought she’d be adopted by people who were so old.

Then it was Mike’s turn to answer the question. He’d been adopted by a younger, single man. His big surprise? “I never expected to be adopted by someone who is bald!!”

Ahhh, teenagers.
