Today, I was getting my picture taken with my mom and grandma for a portrait. I said it was going to be beautiful when it was done, with three generations of our family in it. My grandma said that would be true, if I weren't adopted. FML

Hi guys! OP here :) Well, after a long talk with my parents, turns out I am adopted. It certainly came as a shock to me because my grandma (yup, same one) spoils me to this day. I am 22 years old and I am the only adopted grandchild and am yet my grandma's favorite (I'm not even kidding!). I gave her her first great-grandchild and she loves him more than life itself. Granted, I would have preferred to have found out another way, but it doesn't affect me at all. Thank you for the nice comments!

I'm hoping your grandma is a little senile or something, but the thing about older generations is they have some really old fashioned attitudes. Don't think for a moment it means she, or your mum, or anyone else love and value you less because you were adopted. I hope your picture is a fantastic memory for you

I hope you already knew you were adopted!

As an adoptee, I can relate to this. Nothing like being told you don't count.

I know that it must not of felt great learning that you were adopted that way but does it really matter if you are adopted or not if you have a nice loving family that cares for you?

Nothing wrong with being adopted! (I plan on adopting my own kids.) But if you didn't know before... that's an awkward way to find out.

I'm adopted so I hate when people are baffled by the idea of being adopted like hello I could just not exist or I could be here so I think adoption is good

Blood doesn't make a family, being a family makes a family, some people in my family im related to i chose not to think of as family

At least your Grandma cared enough to let you in the portrait

She didn't want to die with the lie. The truth will set you free.
