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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

If I ever adopted children, I wouldn't hide it from them until they were that old :( I'd make sure they knew as they were growing up that I had chosen to raise them, even though I wasn't their biological mommy, because I loved them. I'm sorry you had to find out at your age, OP. I know you must have been very upset.

However, I would like to congratulate you for your translation skills, whether you're a English-speaking chick transposing French into English or the other way around. I mean it!

How'd you get "I'm adopted" from "secret family recipe" for salad dressing?

Even though you were adopted you're still apart of that family and your parents still love you even though you are not biologically theirs in this situation it really shouldnt matter

That doesn't necessarily mean you are adopted. But if you are, and your parents didn't tell you, I am sorry but that is just wrong. I have known I was adopted since I was very young and it didn't bother me. If I had found out when I was older, I would feel very betrayed.

that is a terrible way to find out. im adopted too, and my parents kept that I had two older bio siblings until I was 19. hardest thing was that they lied to me, not that I had bio siblings.
