honestly i was probably most like your 3rd friend, i never wanted to, but my brother really wanted it, and he does;t really use the internet and computers much, so i really did it for him. I honestly felt like i was betraying my mom (my adoptive mom) by doing it, especially because my adoptive mom died, but because my brother really wanted to find out, i started on the journey, and it turned out to be awesome. but it's definitely an individual choice. I'm lucky to have had an amazing adoptive family, and they will always be my REAL family to me. The ironic thing is that my brother(adoptive brother) his family has become a real disappointment to him, his biological dad is a serious asshole. so i actually got more out of it than he did.
