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

As an adopted child, you were no accident - You were chosen. There is no reason you should feel bad about being adopted.

All this time you thought they were your biological parents, so you are very allowed to be shocked and surprised. I hope you did grow up in a loving, stable home and you’re able to see that and hold onto it in this weird time.

Knock, knock Who’s there? I’m adopted I’m adopted who? Nah, this joke sucks. After getting zero laughs in 15 years, you’d think you would dump this one.

You were literally chosen and fought for. Do you have any idea the time, stress and financial sacrifices that come with adopting a child? You should feel very happy and loved by your family.
