Open Question: Adopted & Very Confused about adopted background & birth background...HELP!?

I asked my adopted mother if she knew what my birth parents background was and she said they just said Anglo. Well I looked up Anglo, and it can be used as another word for Caucasian; and when adopting you want to be clear what you are adopting So now I do not know first how to do some digging to find out who my birth parents are, then go that route.

Resolved Question: Any ideas for a 5-day roadtrip with kids?

We have 3 children ages 3, 6 and 7. We're going from Chicago, IL to San Antonio, TX...which is approx. 19 hours. From there we're taking an overnight break and then going from there to Washington state...which is approx. 34 hours. Question is...is there anything to do to keep them occupied at least 75% of the time? Of course we are packing an adequate amount of food and will be taking a generous amount of breaks! Thanks in advance...
