Today, my mom dropped me off at a friend's house. Upon leaving, my friend's mom said how much I looked like my mother. My mother then replied, "That's funny, she was adopted." This was the first I'd heard of this. FML

Today, I found out that I was not adopted and in fact my parents are my biological parents. How did I find out? Over dinner. How long have I been believing I was adopted? 22 years. Why did I start believing I was adopted? My siblings thought it would be a funny joke. My mom played along. FML

Today, I met a nice girl and decided to ask her out. Later on she showed me a picture of her with her family, she was wearing red and everyone else black. I said jokingly "you look like the adopted child" only to find out that her had parents died and she was indeed adopted. FML

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

Oh, shit, you’re right! (Or it is “your”😂😂😂jkjk) I was in such a rush to get a “first,” I was sloppy with my grammar. Seeing the flood of responses to this post, I could have taken a few hours to proofread my comment before posting.

Since it is obviously not true, she must be very disappointed in you

It sucks to find out this way, I'm so sorry. But there are silver linings. You're entrance into this family didn't just happen, you weren't an accident to your parents, you were intentionally sought out and chosen to be part of their lives. That's pretty amazing. Also, when they embarrass you, you can honestly say "I'm adopted."
