Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my Dad sat me down and told me that I was adopted. I was unbelievably shocked by this revelation and asked him why he'd never told me this before. His response was, "I didn't know!" FML

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, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. 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 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'm in the process of adopting a child. When I called my mom to tell her the news, she just said, "Oh honey, don't adopt, it's the worst decision you'll ever make." I'm adopted. FML
Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML
Today, I decided to come clean with my daughter about her adoptive status within my family. Just after I told her she was adopted, I realized that I have been telling her stories about me giving birth to her. FML
Today, I discovered that I'm adopted. How? After a great lunch, I asked my uncle how he'd made the salad dressing. He replied, "Haha! It's a secret family recipe, my dear!" I wouldn't have thought twice about it, were it not for my parents' shocked expressions, and the long, awkward silence. FML

Do you know how expensive it is to adopt a child and how much of a hassle it is? Your adoptive parents treasure you! I hope you don't find out your biological parents are assholes and they'd better have a good story about why they gave you up!

Not a very graceful way to find out that you were adopted. And the parents who raised you and loved you should have talked to you first about if you wanted to meet your birth parent(s) before springing this on you. OP, your adoptive parents loved you and cared for you all this time. Nothing changes that. Your birth parent(s) gave you up because they could not raise you for whatever reasons they had. But that does not matter, you real parents are the ones who took care of you and raised you. While it may be interesting to see what you have in common with your birth parent(s) you will always be a chosen part of your adoptive parents family.
