Questions for Arliss

Remember the questions of a few months ago? I thought I was in the queue to create questions for Arliss and started a list, only, someone else asked other questions. I ran across the questions today and am interested in the answers, so here, Arliss, are some questions for you:

How old were you when you were told you were adopted?

Did your adopted parents tell you about your birth parents? If not, was finding your birth parents or info about them important to you, or not?

Do you have a sense of whether being an adopted child affected your own parenting?

What is it about Europe, particularly the Germanic cultures, that draws you there?

Have you ever thought of moving there?
