Today, I found out that my (amazing) adoptive parents are going to be investigated by CPS and no one's telling me why. I'm terrified I'm going to be taken away and end up back in foster care again. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I borrowed my adopted mom's laptop and found out that either her, my dad, or both of them, have been trying to research legal ways of un-adopting me and giving me back to the foster care system. FML
Today, CPS came to my door because they found out that I didn't report it when my sister abandoned her kids on my doorstep. They're telling me that I'm going to have to take them down to the foster care center and go through the proper channels if I want to keep them. FML
Today, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML
Today, my adoptive parents were harassed yet again simply because they're black and I'm white. FML
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 asked my foster parents to adopt me. They said no because my dad's getting out of prison soon. 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 found out that my parents are in trouble because they left me home alone for almost two weeks (I'm 16) and my Karen neighbor found out and called social services. FML
Today, I found out my parents' entire marriage was a convoluted scheme to get them both permanently unfit to stand trial. I am genuinely scared to find out what they have planned. FML
Today, I found out the truth about my and my siblings adoptions and why I have no contact with any extended family. Turns out our parents are half-siblings, who decided to adopt rather than risk any genetic anomalies. Their families didn’t approve of the relationship so they moved us far away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Investigation does not mean conviction. Maybe some asshole just wanted to cause trouble for your adoptive parents and they'll clear the investigation.

Sometimes there is nothing wrong but CPS has to investigate anyway to make sure that no child has been harmed. I am sure CPS will ask your opinion if there is a need.Just tell the truth. If you are adopted I don't think they can just whisk you away to foster care. There are steps they have to follow. Adoption is far more secure than a foster placement. Speak to your school guidance counsellor for advice. Hopefully, CPS agree with you that they are wonderful parents and close the case. Good Luck.

Definitely talk to the investigators. They have the child's best interest at heart; I'm sure they will listen to you, the child.
