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

I'm with some of the other people who commented, saying that maybe the mom played along once (by that I mean she probably responded sarcastically and the OP didn't pick up on that) and then just forgot about it. I can't see any parent actually going along with the joke for years, but that's just me. A lot of siblings trick one another into believing that one is adopted. My mom did it to her little sister/my youngest aunt for years, and she believed it.

It's not exactly a picnic not knowing who gave birth to you or where you came from. If they believed that for 22 years... that's one hell of an emotional mind ****.

Somewhere in the world is the most gullible person EVER, and you have just read his FML.

oh boo hoo you're adopted. big deal. you're probably the stupidest person on earth or the most gullible. tell me, did you not read your birth cert? durrrrrrr besides I think someone in your condition should just assume that the lady that has changed your drool bib and diapers all those years is your mom

The solution for this FML is simple. Wait until your siblings and mother are not around one another (when they're all at work, for example) and then call each of them and tell them that the others are dead. Imagine the hilarity that will ensue! I can already hear the After-school Special theme music when the lesson is taught about loving and respecting your family.

So, you're saying you'd have rather found out when your parents were on their death bed or something?
