Rachelle Longest: born 1990, Wester, Tennessee
I grew up in a small town in Wester, Tennessee. I knew there was something different about me from other kids because I had two moms instead of a mom and a dad. My parents - I call them both Mom - have been together for 25 years and met in San Diego, California, which is also the city where I was born. I moved to Memphis to go to the University there where I am about to graduate with a BA in Psychology. I never was very curious about my genetic father, but I always wanted siblings. I didn't know about my siblings until about twenty minutes after my mom sat me on the living room couch and I read the paper she had printed out. It only took me about 30 seconds to read the first paragraph - the other 19 and a half minutes I was just sitting there with my mouth open.
It seems adventure runs in the family, because like my other siblings I love learning about other cultures. I have not travelled outside the country yet, but I definitely plan to in the future. I am graduating in December 2010 and am getting married soon as well.
Meeting my siblings has been a happy adventure that I hope lasts a lifetime.Who knows, there may even be more of them out there….
