Personal Introduction And you are ... ?

[nili]

You might want to check out the flowchart that Baruch posted in the Conversion to Judaism forum. It clears up any confusion regarding what the various denominations of Judaism consider to be acceptable.

Scroll down to "Part 3: Other" and there you will find Humanistic Judaism (close to the bottom of the chart). Here is how the questioning might go for you:

Q: Were you raised Jewish?
A: No.
Q: Have you formally joined a Jewish community? [We love you, Dana, and you are a part of our community.]
A; Yes.
Q: Do you consider yourself to be Jewish?
A: Yes.
"Humanistic Judaism considers you to be a Jew."

To the best of my knowledge I'm the only person here with any substantial experience in an Society for Humanistic Judaism (SHJ) synagogue. Let me offer a simple observation.

If there is no SHJ synagogue in the area, all of the above it effectively irrelevant. If there is such a synagogue, call the Rabbi and set up an appointment. It will be painless and informative.
