Dad - Luke, I am not your father.. Luke - that's not true!! That's impossible! *jumps off into chasm*

This is not the father you are looking for... Move along. *pats self on back for making a movie reference*

Not the best way to find out the thruth but does it really matter as long as they love you

Wow, now I'm rrally curious of how the joke might have went.

How did a Star Wars joke apply to that exactly? "I am your father, just kidding!"?

The adoption is strong with this one.

Going by their username, I can make a few guesses.

How about "Luke, I'm not your father!" ?

Well, Luke, it seems like he isn't your father.

#29 ment the dad who said that didn't name him.. duh... and I think the reference was made based to the fact that his name was Luke, and they happend to be watching a movie starring a guy named Luke!? Is it just me? Or are people getting dumber, everyday?

Some adopted kids come with no name if adopted at birth.

And it's not that hard to change a kid's name when you adopt them. You already have to file to change the last name, why not change the first while you're at it?

Time to go find your Darth Vader.

What, so OP can have his hand chopped off? Doesn't sound like such a good plan to me.

Do you also have a twin sister who you were separated from at birth? And have you recently made out with her?

Sorry to hear OP but like posters before me have said, as long as they Love you there should not be an awkwardness about the situation. Those people took you in when you needed it( shall I say when they needed you) and nothing is stopping you from trying to reconnect with you biological mother. The foster home should have the info on file for you.

That's bullshit. They lied to him for god knows how many years. Discovering it (especially on this way) is freakin' awkward, disturbing and shocking - otherwise OP wouldn't have posted it on FML. I agree that loving parents are more important than being blood-related, but please, don't act like this is no huge deal.

This is one of those FMLs that need the OP to comment explaining what happened
