_{I decided to search for my biological family sitting at the top of a double-decker bus, stuck in traffic in Shoreditch, late for work at The Sunday Times Magazine in London.}

––TORONTO LIFE

I’d just turned 36, and it occurred to me that my biological grandparents—their existence at that moment distant, hypothetical and abstract—were also getting older. If, IF, they were alive, I had to find them now or face the consequences of never. I immediately consulted Google, searching, “Adopted Ontario Canada Find Biological Family.” I clicked on a few of the results: an adoptee who found her family in a cemetery and now fills her own void by helping other adoptees search (dreadful), a support group for searching adoptees (still dreadful) and a retired police detective in Ontario with a track record of finding birth parents (significantly less dreadful). By the time I crossed London Bridge, even later for work, I had emailed the private detective.

I had lunch with a journalist at the magazine at Elliot’s in Borough Market, who was clearly horrified by my decision to search. “You just opened Pandora’s box.” He was right. I had tried and failed to search before. If I was fortunate enough to find my birth family this time or at all, I had no idea who—or what—I would be inviting into my life.

To search or not to search was a choice my parents prepared me for. It was a decision I could make when I turned 18. Whenever I tell people I am adopted, the response generally goes something like: “I didn’t know you were adopted!?” It’s a statement and a question. They’re asking, are you all right with this? (Yes.) Why did your parents give you away? (Teenage pregnancy.) Will you search for them? (Yes.) Some adoptees, like my brother, have no desire to seek out their birth families. But I always knew I would.

––Nuit Blanche, City of Toronto

An entire city was invited to a civic slumber party in an abandoned subway station to participate in collective dreaming...

Hidden below the city, more than 5,000 guests turned up ready to turn in with pjs, sleeping bags, toothbrushes, flashlights et al...

Like any good sleepover, the night’s activities both welcomed and warded off the inevitable necessity of sleep...

When sleep finally comes, the city kept dreaming and dreaming and dreaming together...

Nite! Nite!
