Ditto. I have no clue as to what my medical history holds, aside from my parents' height, eye colour, and a couple of notes on my biological grandparents. My mother's mother was an alcoholic (and I have recently become allergic to the stuff, which I suppose is good, although annoying at parties), and I think my biological father smoked. The rest is just a big surprise, so I'm trying to be as healthy as possible on my own, and hope that the x-factor of my genes doesn't turn out to be a horrid medical issue later on.
