How would you feel if you found out one day that you are adopted?

I couldn't possibly know how it feels, I always wished I had been! God Bless! Thanks

keeping aside the response i was awe struck seeing ur discussion,fabulous discussion!!!! I would be in a dispair and shocked to know!!!i am not even able to think,but surely i would be in a great shock,but i wouldn show any difference in my behaviour to my adopted parents as they have brought me up...!!!!

i think i would have mixed feelings if i found out i was adopted i would be hurt my parents gave me away but on the other hand if they gave me to a loving and caring who treated me as there own child and they had a good reason for giving me up maybe not enough financial stability or many other reasons i would find them and thank them for giving me up to a family who was more stable and loving and caring and try to build a relationship with them regardless of what they did in the past after all they are still my biological parents whether they put me up for adoption or not i feel they had good reason too and would allow them to explain there side when ever we got to talk!!!!! my first? would be why did you give me up? then i will wait for the answer and go on from there. i would be angry and hurt but i would want to know the truth!!!! happy mylotting!!!! have a great day!!!!

I must have a fright,maybe i can't believe what i hear at first,but i will be ok soon.I think i shall feel that i am lucky,i don't became a orphan,i still have parents,they love me,treating me as they son as well,it is so lucky,there are lots of children don't know who are their parents,where are their parents,they are not lucky as me,i have a family,but they don't have.I will treat my foster parent well,maybe i will find my parents if i really want,i don't hate them,they must have some special reason to do that,i will ask them and make it clear.

I feel that it is teh responsibilityfo teh adopting parents to tellthe adopted child early during the adoption that they hav been adopted so that they are used to the idea and accept the adopted parents as his natural perents. hiding the fact from the child can play havoc with teh child later in life when he comes to know. If I came t6o know that i was adopted, i would be devastated. The meaning of father and mother woudl change totally. Though I will respect my adopting parents, for their kindness, but i will miss the real parents in a special way and woudl want to ask them the reason for abandoning me.

i think this would depend on whether was i loved and cared for or was i treated differently. if i was cared for and loved and treated like their own, i guess i would get hurt initially but then again it would not really matter because they didn't make me feel left out. my family didn't treat me differently. i don't think i'd want to look for my real parents too because i'd be contented with the parents that i already have. had i been treated differently, maybe i would look for my real parents or do something to better my situation by working hard and being a good daughter despite of. make myself proud by becoming somebody people can look up to and be proud of.

I do not know how to react in this case. it will be weird. what i have learne dtill date will be false. but i will be grateful; to parents for bringing me up

I was an adopted child but I knew about this when I was a kid. And my adopted parents and their family loved me so much that it did not make much of a difference. Here is a tribute that I have written for the father who adopted me inspite of having six kids of his own which I would like you to read. www.associatedcontent.com/article/1060149/a_tribute_to_my_daddy.html I am in touch with my biological mother and siblings but not much emotionally attached to them. But I communicate with my adopted family through email everyday.

If one dayh I learn that I'm adopted that won't change a thing about how I treat others and myself. I must be thankful that there are still people taking care of me and God has still given me the blessing of a loving family. It doesn't matter if I am adoipted as long as my adoptive parents love me as their own.

hi No doubt, I'll shocked. . I'm really not sure I will react, but I think I'll prefer to be alone and 1st try to get over the shock. Then only I can decide what can I do. To be honest, I think I'll inquire why did my biological parent gave up me. I'll definitely meet them and try to understand the reason. If my current parent treat me well, I won't disown their love for me. Otherwise, I will leave them without any further thoughts.

If one day I will found out that I am an adopted child I will go to my adopted parents, reach out, give them a big big and tight hug. I will tell them how i love them and how blessed I am that I have them as my parents. I think being an adopted child is not an issue. One has to be thankful that inspite their biological parents left them a true parents are there to take charge.
