Would you say it's worse because you know what you're missing out on?

A kid I grew up next to in FL was also adopted from a Russian orphanage at a round 6 years old. I remember distinctly that he was so angry about his "former life" that he openly got angry with anyone who mentioned his lineage or asked questions about it, because he was American now, not Russian anymore. He never had qualms about calling his fellow adopted siblings brother and sister, because he was completely gung-ho about his identity in he states. He was content with being completely divorced from his past. Would you say that you too are completely separated from your "former life", or do you feel ok with having your past in the forefront of your mind? Did you settle into your new life easily or did you have trouble assimilating?

I used to have anorgasmia, and I was "cured" after childbirth too. I think it was just a time of complete physical reset, so to speak, and so my mind got reset too. I hope you find a way to get past this problem!!

but if you sold a man 2 dozen "chickens" and then loaned him some videos indefinitely as a gift, well that, that would be perfectly fine.

What difficulties did you have? Language? Culture? Making friends? And what skills and habits did you bring with you? Another question I had about growing up in an orphanage... What was the education like. Did you go to school with individualized grades separated or one big classroom? I spent some time in Slovakia and they seemed to do schoolhouse type schools... Like grades 1-3, 4-7, etc.
