Actually, there was a family, at where you’ve grown up and that family is somewhat differently appearance from you. Of course, this could be from being stolen sold, lost and found, switched at birth, or maybe your parent/s even died from childbirth or from war. But with whatever the reason that’s why you’re in a family which is different from you. You can ask yourself a question. i.e., For how long did you know they are not your blood family?
So, give lots of thoughts that why and what had made you unique orphan that was adopted. What kind of a harsh life did you endure on the streets until adoption? Were you way too old to be adopted even, and it was pure luck and grace some kind-hearted person took you in? Have you bounced around from orphanage to orphanage and built yourself a reputation as trouble child, still able to be adopted miraculously? Were you a victim of domestic abuse and a great fight broke out over adopting you? Are your birth parents even still alive? Did you maybe see them perish before your eyes or see them leave you as a helpless vagabond?
After that you already think to have your past figured out and also you need to think about how you had been interacted with your present family in a deeper level. Would you commonly feel out of place with them?, have you usually been preferring to spend time away from any foster siblings you may have? Do you rarely tell your foster parents of your problems and sneak around the house, unable to feel at home? Or do you act normal and accept it?

Also those of the race that you’re will be taking longer time to trust you, cause they think that you have either been corrupted or on the side of the race of your adoptive family and no longer will share their values too.
