Your sister's name isn't Shelly by any chance?

I never understood that idea of being adopted as terrible. I really don't understand how it could be an insult in Australia of all places, where if "Home & Away" is anything to go by half of all Australian children are brought up by cuddly caravan park owning matriachs or ex-alcoholic rough diamonds.

After Harry Potter, any adopted child can have wild fantasies about their parents being wizards. Come to think of it, a big chunk of children's literature is all about kids in some manner becoming estranged from their real parents one way or another & going on to become sorceror knight kings & queens as per their "destiny". When did this being adopted return to being an insult in the culture anyway?
