That is really great. It is awful to not know something so basic as your birthday. Hugs to you:)<br /><br />LynnLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575558244573598420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950217803502790967.post-37594693162622147712013-06-25T05:43:35.301-07:002013-06-25T05:43:35.301-07:00Our adopted daughter realized this year that she d...Our adopted daughter realized this year that she does not know her exact day of birth...it is just a guess on her paperwork based on the presence of her umbilical cord.<br /><br />So, we decided to celebrate her birth for 3 days to make sure we have it covered. But my heart aches for her, because I understand how she might be feeling, how horrible to not know so few circumstances of how you got into the world. I was where she was when I was turning 12...not knowing.<br /><br />The difference is that now I DO know, and she may NEVER know...and it's awful.<br /><br />lee hAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950217803502790967.post-81300673218385877072013-05-24T08:53:42.697-07:002013-05-24T08:53:42.697-07:00Thanks for commenting, Kris.

I can only assume what it must be like, based on stories I have heard from others. I have not walked this path. Thanks for commenting.

We are assigned a date to use as our birth date for legal purposes, and that's sufficient. There's no reason in 99% of cases to disclose that it is a made up date. And not knowing your astrological sign is inconsequential since astrology is nothing.
