Genealogy / Adopted from Poland - share your experience [6]

I was adopted at the age of 12 but my adoption was always an "open adoption".
I always had contact with my biological family and have visited them often.
Once I've stayed in Poland for 2 months and once 3 months.
I've left behind my parents, grandmother and 2 sisters :(
I was adopted by my aunt and uncle.
They've sent me to a "paradise" which I'm still trying
to find here in USA.

Language / I need advice - how long does it take to learn Polish? [70]

Someone said it takes 20 years to learn Polish so you have 11 years to go. Good luck!

Language / A typical quality of book translation from English to Polish? [28]

It's best to have a native English translator to translate text into English and a native Pole to
translate it into Polish.
I'm a native Polish translator, educated in USA since I was 12 years old so
translations into English are not a problem for me but sometimes I need help
(from my Polish husband) to translate text from English into Polish.
I would not agree to translate an English book into Polish all by myself.

Life / Wisdom Teeth Removal - How and expected Cost in Poland? [10]

Yesterday I had my wisdom tooth removed here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA at
the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. All went well and I didn't feel any pain.
I paid only $70. Look for dental schools in your area. Full mouth X-ray was only $55.
