Today, after eighteen years of living with my adoptive parents, I met my biological mum for the first time. She's a forty year old, 300lb American woman who wears 'Twilight' t-shirts and will be spending the rest of her visit to the UK trying to find Robert Pattinson. She says I remind her of herself. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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 met my biological parents for the first time, 29 years into my life. They turned out to be two of the most pathetic people I have ever met, and the meeting ended after they asked me to lend them money because I "literally owe them my life." FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. She stole my wallet. FML
Today, I met this girl who's perfect. Turns out, since I'm adopted, she might be my sister. FML
Today, after years of not speaking with my birth mother, I took a chance and stopped to talk to her when I saw her outside of her house. Five minutes into it, I knew I needed my hair recolored and that I'm out of shape, this all being said by a totally gray haired fat woman. FML
Today, when I was unpacking all of my stuff, my parents declared that they are going to live in Australia, and have found me a 'friend'. I am a 14 year old girl at boarding school, and my friend is my new foster mum. FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. I also found out from her husband that she has her nipples and nether regions pierced. 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 met my boyfriend's entire extended family at a party. All of them, including his dad, said I looked exactly like his mum. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel sorry for the person who has to sit in the middle seat next to her on her flight home. something tells me she did not fly first or business class - and 300 pounders don't fit in coach class seats.... it's a long way to Tipperary, but it's a longer way from LHR to the USA.

well she is your biological mother so technically you still love her anyway. it isnt such a bad thing. I mean she did give birth to you.

Wait, why does that being OP's biological mother mean she still loves her? The woman didn't raise her, she never bonded with her, never had an opportunity to be close to her. I'm pretty sure that somebody giving their DNA to you doesn't mean you automatically have to love them. For instance, I don't love my biological father, and he was around until I was two and I've seen him a few times since.

You don't know the details of OP's adoption, so you guys should chill out with all the assumptions. OP's bio-mom may not have given her up, she may have been taken for extrenuous reasons. The bio-mom may have cared about her, but if it's not an open adoption, especially in international cases, it's harder to contact the child, and the adoptive parents may have made it where she couldn't. So 1), you don't know if she cares or not. 2) Meeting your birthchild from 18 years ago is exciting and challenging, the bio-mom may be struggling to connect. If OP is about 18, the bio-mom may have assumed the girl emjoyed Twilight, as many young girls and young adult girls do- she may mean well. Although that (^) is just possibilities, the point is: you can't just assume things about OP, or her mother, etc.

Psh, who likes Edward Team Jacob is the way to be! Unless your over 20 then you shouldn't be into twilight.

The worst part: she's American...

I can. My deduction is simple. Op has nothing in common with her birth mother. She was raised in a culture that "birthed" America. England and America have always had an interesting relationship. Despite that, Op's mother traveled a great distance to see her birth child and to do something she enjoyed. SHe tried sharing it with her bio kid and the kid looked at her, saw only a 300 pound American and judged her.
