Today, I found out that I was not adopted and in fact my parents are my biological parents. How did I find out? Over dinner. How long have I been believing I was adopted? 22 years. Why did I start believing I was adopted? My siblings thought it would be a funny joke. My mom played along. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out the joke I’ve been telling for 15 years is true. I am adopted. 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 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
Today, I found out the truth about my and my siblings adoptions and why I have no contact with any extended family. Turns out our parents are half-siblings, who decided to adopt rather than risk any genetic anomalies. Their families didn’t approve of the relationship so they moved us far away. 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, 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 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 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, 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

I'm adopted! and honestly I'm glad I am because it showed me that adoptive parents are crazy!! and it really shouldn't be an FML only because at lease u know ur real parents even though it took u a while to realize that they were. I have no clue I was given up as a baby along with my twin brother and luckily we were adopted together! I have gone thru 9 foster families... so be blessed

My mom did this to me once. I was like 10 so I started crying. Not really an FML though.

Me too! That is hilarious! I can see how it happened because kids are impressionable and your mom probably played along when you first asked then forgot all about it. Wrong of them to suggest you call around to the agencies and join the search boards. Downright cruel of them to tell you your biological mom sold you to them for crack.

Well OP is 22... He needs to man-up.

Ajjas, he's older than 22. If he's been believing this for 22 years, he's 26 at the youngest. Man up, indeed.

#50 :) #55 Good point. I understand if he's angry though, I would be furious.

Yeah but it's nothing to cry about over the Internet :'(

Who says OP is crying? Not everything on FML is about terrible, devestating occurances. It's about inconveniences in your life. 22 years is an awful long time to play a prank.

When I was little, my Dad would continuously tell me growing up that he would sell me to the goat farmer at the Pittsburgh Paints store. for no reason at all. They didn't have enough spare bedrooms in the house for me, so I could just sleep in a doghouse with their pet billygoat. I cried in fear of abandonment everytime we took a drive into the neighboring city.
