I think you should absolutely give it a shot-- write a rough draft and see how it looks.

So many kids, like my son, were adopted as infants. But your story is different. I would imagine you have a real appreciation of family and of nurturing that so many kids take for granted. And I would imagine that the rough background you came from might give you an appreciation of the need for education-- for so many kids from those rough backgrounds, education is the only way out.

I would absolutely at least try this essay.

But remember, the focus is not on the past, it’s on giving the reader a reason to say yes to your application. Show them how your history has made you into a person they want on campus.
