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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

See what Twilight does to people. One of the reasons it SUCKS.

I love how you specified that she's American.

Well, she was expecting a Hollywood mom who adopted fifty kids from other countries and was coming back to claim her English child.

YES TO THAT LAST COMMENT.

I can see how that could shatter your entire perception of life. If I found out that my biological mother was British, I'd probably be just as upset.

Offended much?

I know, that is my point. Expecting your bio-mom who gave you up in the first place to be the sort of person who is ... well a mother is not going to pan out. Sometimes you meet great parents who were just young when their child went away/was adopted out but usually there is a reason people have to give up their child. IN this case the B.M. (Bio Mom) is selfish and slightly delusional. Op has parents, she is lucky to have people who wanted a child enough to go through international chains to get her. Yes, they are genetically related but a mother is more than blood, she is the hard work, care and love it takes to raise a child. THat woman hasn't cared about/for Op for 18 years, Op is a completely different person raised in a completely different culture. Why would you expect a stranger to give up their dream vacation for you?

I am sad to say that American girls are like that. Except they are usually teenagers. EVERYONE WHO IS A TWILIGHT FREAK IS RETARDED! WATCH ANY VAMPIRE MOVIE THAT ISN'T TWILIGHT, AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT A REAL VAMPIRE IS! Sorry that your real mom is insane. Please, do not think badly of Americans

1) You just claimed ALL American girls are like that. How can people NOT think badly of Americans if you are claiming they are vapid, Twilight loving, insane stalkers. 2) While being obsessed with a fictional person (including the personalities put out by actors to get people to buy their shit) is bad, writing in all caps that people need to see what "real vampires" are like makes you just as bad. The fact that you have to take the time during the day to make sure your vampires are separate from Twipires makes you almost as bad. You might not wear shirts with Team Ed on them, but you are still defensive about a fictional being. 3) No, not all American girls (under 20) are obsessed with Twilight. 4) So don't judge Americans by the stupid people who come on here.

Okay dude. You just said, and I quote, "I am sad to say that American girls are like that. Except they are usually teenagers." I just want to say that you're wrong. Because last time I checked, I may be wrong, but just go with with. Last time I checked I was a 14 year old American who hates Twilight. Oh my gosh, no way no way, shocker huh? So why don't you get your facts straight mofo. I swear people like you annoy me.

Did I read that right? "watch any other vampire movie and you'll see what a real vampire is!"? You sound crazier than the Twilight fans.

We disown you, I don't care what ethnicity or country you hail from. I disown you.

She should be thankful for the opportunity to meet her birth mom. My biological parents are dead and I was lucky enough to meet them once before they died. If OP's mother was to die (not that I wish that on her), she would be very grateful (hopefully) that she met her mother no matter what her mother was like as a person.
