I cannot imagine what you have been through. I know nothing can ever repair that hungry hole you must have by never experiencing a biological family. I can tell you not to miss the bonds that you will never know, but that's not an answer.

I want you to continue growing, learning and loving in your life. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Living life and finding/creating your own family and getting your needs met as much as one can. I want you to know all kinds of love. And you can! You will.
