Today, I discovered that I'm adopted. How? After a great lunch, I asked my uncle how he'd made the salad dressing. He replied, "Haha! It's a secret family recipe, my dear!" I wouldn't have thought twice about it, were it not for my parents' shocked expressions, and the long, awkward silence. FML

If I ever adopted children, I wouldn't hide it from them until they were that old :( I'd make sure they knew as they were growing up that I had chosen to raise them, even though I wasn't their biological mommy, because I loved them. I'm sorry you had to find out at your age, OP. I know you must have been very upset.

It's tricky to make that "special" mayonnaise. It's a lot of fun, but it's also *lowers sunglasses* hard ;)

You're, without a doubt, the only person who can use the *lowers sunglasses* thing.

So was my Dad. I know the shock is hard to take, especially out of the blue, but try to think of it this way: they loved you enough to specifically choose you to be a part of their family. I hope that helps OP!

I don't see why you'd be shocked to find out your dad was adopted nearly as much as finding out you yourself are adopted...

I wasn't shocked, the only shock I was referencing was the OP's possible shock. Thank you

he probably didn't mean it to hurt you. besides, you have parents who are obviously honest with you, don't get to down on yourself.

Obviously not, since they've lied to OP her whole life about something so huge...

Yeah, I don't really get it, either (ee). I'm not sure what adoption has to do with it.

There is nothing wrong with being adopted. It might have been for the best. Your biological parents might have struggled financially and couldn't afford a(nother) kid.
