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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

Now you can run up to your mom, hug her and go "MY REAL MOTHER!! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET YOU!" And you can have a touching family moment--to cover up the murder of your siblings :D

Baby pictures don't prove anything. Plenty of people adopt infants and take pictures

Is perdix the dad? He donated his vasectomy results to lonely employees at Wal-Mart.

This is pretty awful, both the siblings and the mother. That said, does the OP not look at all like either parent?

YDI. You are so lame. That's a joke that all siblings play on their younger siblings, and nobody ever actually believes it. Your mom just played along because she figured you couldn't be STUPID enough to buy into it.

As a kid, you do believe it and typically run to your mom while crying your eyes out and ask her if it's true. If your mom then tells you it IS true and even reinforces it over the years... Hard not to believe it.

LMAO! It's a youngest child right of passage. We did the same thing to my little sister. She was convinced we found her in a dumpster (with a mozzarella stick in her nose no less) until she was 7. She would get angry at me and our brothers and stomp off screaming "I wish you guys just left me in the dumpster!" My parent's did nothing to stop this.
