<p>Kristi Hofferber has always known she was adopted. At three days old she was welcomed into the loving home of her parents, who were unable to have biological children. She was an only child, and her parents felt no need to hide the adoption, as they knew adoption wasn’t something to be ashamed of. And Kristi wasn’t ashamed, but she was worried that if she looked for her birth mother, it might hurt her parents in some way. So for years, she denied that she had any desire to find her birth family. <span class="post-teaser-more">&nbsp;<a href="http://heartsunitedforlife.com/?p=2099" title="Permanent Link: Woman Conceived in Incest: Please Don’t Kill Children Like Me in Abortion" rel="bookmark">Read more...</a> <i>(1013 words, estimated 4:03  mins reading time)</i></span></p>
