Today, after eighteen years of living with my adoptive parents, I met my biological mum for the first time. She's a forty year old, 300lb American woman who wears 'Twilight' t-shirts and will be spending the rest of her visit to the UK trying to find Robert Pattinson. She says I remind her of herself. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my mom told me that she had great news: we were going to meet my biological parents. I didn't know I was adopted. FML
Today, I met my biological parents for the first time, 29 years into my life. They turned out to be two of the most pathetic people I have ever met, and the meeting ended after they asked me to lend them money because I "literally owe them my life." FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. She stole my wallet. FML
Today, I met this girl who's perfect. Turns out, since I'm adopted, she might be my sister. FML
Today, after years of not speaking with my birth mother, I took a chance and stopped to talk to her when I saw her outside of her house. Five minutes into it, I knew I needed my hair recolored and that I'm out of shape, this all being said by a totally gray haired fat woman. FML
Today, when I was unpacking all of my stuff, my parents declared that they are going to live in Australia, and have found me a 'friend'. I am a 14 year old girl at boarding school, and my friend is my new foster mum. FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. I also found out from her husband that she has her nipples and nether regions pierced. FML
Today, my mother, who is 75 years-old, just told me and my sister that we were adopted. I'm 45 years-old and my sister is 49. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's entire extended family at a party. All of them, including his dad, said I looked exactly like his mum. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can't pick your family, nor can you change the past. Move on.

The FML here wasn't that this woman was her biological mother as much as that this woman said that OP reminded her of herself, essentially saying she possibly looked like a fat, twilight-addicted American.

all the mother was doing is trying to make a connection. they may not resemble each other in any way, my dad who I haven't seen since I was 3 says that, but everyone else begs to differ. he just has nothing more to say so he comes up with that as a last resort. or maybe it's not that the child resembles the parent, it's that the child is exactly what the parent wanted or imagined their child being like.

I'm so sorry, this is what gives America a bad name. I promise that not every person here is like that.

Your mother might have lived a lonely and difficult life. The important thing is you have found her and can now get answers and understand why things turned out the way they have. I hope you both have a good relationship together without any complications.

who cares if your mom is over weight. that doesn't mean you should not be thankful that you found her. atleast she cared to come see you even though she's childish. be thankful you met her. there are plenty of adoptive kids who have never met there real parents.

Pattinson's only in it for the money. He couldn't care less about the part… thankfully. Or was I the only one who read that VF article?
