I know one thing for sure I am way more confinate to talk to others because of this. I feel I can relate to more people sence the nine people that did help raise me all had different back rounds. It worked why? every one in my life had a heart felt love for me and my well being, thats the diffenece in my "village" LOVE. I am now in the same situation raiseing two twins that are my 3rd cusins. That same LOVE I got from others as a child I get to use now because I had it in my life.
My father was adopted from Germany as a child and even though he didn't turn out to be the greatest guy, ditching my mom and me when I was 3 never to return, he only had 2 parents who both worked to raise him. I just can only imagine if there where more people who cared about him maybe things would be different.
maybe I'm just trying to redifine the word to show that in a "village" there would have to be love for the childern and everyone in it to benifit from it. such as in my family now where we all try in are new life is to help one another when possible and to others in are church family.

Don't forget the distinct possibilty that you are just plain a good person.
The village or the 2 doting parents probably could have had very equal success raising people like you.
