Mark is the adopted son of Drew and Kathleen Bryant, not only did Kathleen adopted him but Mark adopted her as his mother. The young man had been a part of Drew's family for the past four years. First he had looked at Drew as a big brother, but after Pappy Cobb died then the Franklin family moved in with two boys near Mark's age, who had a Pa of their own; Mark decided he would rather have Drew as a Pa rather than a brother. He remembered little to nothing about the woman who had given birth to him. There were faint images that flitted across his mind in dreams of a woman holding out her arms and saying, "Come, come on you can do it. Come to Mama." Then Kathleen who had became his mama had been kidnapped and he feared he had lost the only mother he had ever known, but Drew, his papa had brought her back. Later she had him a little brother and he was so happy. Sometime after they had told him that they were adopting him by law. They said that if someone chose to come take him away, if they had any kind of proof that they were related by blood then they could not stop them. So they had did what ever it was that had to be done and adopted him legally. Mark had thought a lot about it, and wasn't sure if he wanted to know if anyone came that really was kin to him. Once they told him that it was all finished and he was their son legally, he didn't care if some one came saying he was kin to them. It wouldn't be bad to know if he had maybe a grandma and grandpa or aunts and uncles and cousins, but he wouldn't want to have to leave the only family he had ever known to go live with strangers.
