Today, while doing a fun genetics game in Biology, I found out that I was adopted. Turns out the game wasn't so fun. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
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, 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, 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, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML
Today, my sister and I decided to do one of those online DNA tests just for fun. Our mom came in, saw all the stuff on the table, and lost her mind. She started bawling and apologizing. Apparently, neither one or neither of us actually belong to my dad. FML
Today, I found out the joke I’ve been telling for 15 years is true. I am adopted. FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. FML
Today, I took a DNA test and it turns out that the person who I thought was my dad is not my actual dad and my real dad is his best friend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Honestly who cares? They love you, you love them, their your parents and your still their son, just not genetically

So now, if your parents are jerks (or ugly), you can say Thank God!!! I'm adopted....

I understand being upset about parents not telling you that you are adopted, but the grateful lenses should be that you didn't live out your life unadapted in a foster home.

At least you were taken in and not aborted right?

Your parents chose you, most are stuck with their kids

well, I must ask: do you at least get your mother's/father's hand-me-down jeans?

So what if you are adopted? They gave you a new live and love you, that is all that matters. People put too much worry and anger into if their parents are their biological ones ore not. Do you know how many people never get adopted or their biological parents don't care for them? Stop complaining and just be glad you have a family.

I've known for a while that I'm adopted. My parents insist that I'm not, but I have a widow's peak, which is dominant, and they both have straight hairlines. I have Obvious freckles, also dominant, and again neither has any. Yay.

Nothing wrong with being adopted, I was.

I feel sorry for you, but if you have a family who loves you, in the end that's all that matters...
