Today, I found out that I was adopted. I'm 46 years old with 11 real siblings and no one bothered to tell me until I found the documents in my dead adoptive father's house. 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

Wow.. That blows. But I am sure he did it for your own good.

Maybe to their eyes, you were never adopted and has always been part of the family. Also, we don't know what's the arrangement made by both families when they adopted you so it's hard to say.

Honestly, I don't see how people can see that 'they deserved it' on this one, if anything this should some suck. But love is more important than blood if anything.

With eleven siblings at least one of you had to be adopted

It sucks but get over it and look to your brothers and sisters who "are" your real family now. Why overlook a good thing?

I'm so sorry about how and when you found out. I was also adopted but my parents who adopted me, told me before I even knew what it meant, so I grew up knowing I was adopted so it was no surprise. I was curious but I guess not as much as if I had figured it out later in my life. One thing I learned was doesn't matter as long as you are part of a family who takes care of you just like if you were their blood-related child.
