It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We've got an unexpected baby boy, do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.
故事从我出生前开始讲起。当时我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的未婚大学毕业生,她决定让别人收养我。她非常希望我的养父母都是大学毕业的,所以在我出生的时候,她已经安排好让一个律师和他的妻子收养我。但是她没有料到,当我出生之后,律师夫妇突然决定他们想要一个女孩。而我如今的养父母当时也在领养候选单上,他们突然在半夜接到这样一个电话:“我们现在正好有个刚出生的小男婴,你们想要吗?”。他们回答道:“当然!”但是我亲生母亲随后发现,我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的养父甚至从没有读过高中。她拒绝签这个收养合同。不过在几个月以后,我的父母答应她一定会让我上大学的,那个时候她才同意。
