I want to be adopted
because I feel like I be-
long already. My dad’s
whole side of the family
has some tribe they belong
to, connecting them back
to their ancestors for gen-
erations. I, however, am
not a member and feel cut
off from my ancestors
like they all are accepted
and good enough and I am
not. When I meet new
people and they ask me
what I am and I tell them
Native, they always follow
up with what tribe. I feel
homeless and awkward
not being able to say with
complete certainty this is
