Another question about clans--adopted children

[Baker04]

I am on the other side of the question, as the birth son of a young Scottish Canadian soldier who was adopted . Knowing my maternal birth name but not my father's Scottish one was likely to be always the case. Through DNA testing in a few formats by more than one lab and genetic matches,I was determined to be a genetic MacRae. I am proud to be of MacRae heritage and am going to order another MacRae tartan kilt.
Furthermore, how amazing science is when I now even know what line of MacRaes I descend from.
It's important for an adopted child not to be made to feel different, yet at the same time , recognizing that they may want to recognize their biological heritage in some way if known. eg my name tag on this site is my biological maternal name.
