Oh yes, Montreal and QC are two completely different cities.

I love QC, it is just wonderful.

I am so glad the adoption search ended up in such a positive way.
And the family has accepted you into the fold in a warm and loving way.

Yes I understand about the language as a way to connect,
be a part of the family, and to show your appreciation.

The French Canadians have rich, unique, tremendous history.
If you are descended from the small original founder's group then
you are DNA related to 90% of the Quebec population!

And many of the buildings you are looking at in QC have been built by
your ancestors. And the old churches are where you ancestors were
baptized, married, buried.

I wish you the best with your new family and lovely QC!
