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

Maybe they just want to know why they are abandoned.

If I'm capable of doing such and can really give that kids needs... why not then. I actually hope that those people who are able to do so would take children to their home and take care of them. It's hard to accept and that the reality but after learning the truth your views about it would come a little clearer and then you will choose what to do, to remain angry or to instead love the parents you knew more than ever. If I'm adopted and I've been well taken care of... what with the angry for anyway? I will be more grateful about life and I would then start to decide what would I do with my life.

I think children who have been adopted might not always feel grateful because adoption isn't the typical way to form a family. They've lost an important connection and even though they are loved, it's still a loss. I was adopted. And I am grateful to my parents. They don't expect gratitude, though. I adopted my child. And I don't expect him to be grateful, nor am I planning on keeping his adoption a secret from him. Obviously he should, just like every child, appreciate the life he has, but I will understand if he wonders about his biological family or feels he has missed out. I'll also understand if he is angry - he won't understand that his birthmother couldn't take care of him, because in his small world, adults take care of children. In a lot of movies and books, children are "taken away" and it turns out their "real" parents are kindly, rich, and have been missing the child like crazy. So some children get a skewed sense, like adoption is kidnapping.

Confused because I've been on this earth 35 years already. I've been told many stories about being a baby and including the day of my birth and other things. It would mean everything I've been told all those years has been a lie. I'm not sure what I would do with being told that.

it's really hard to accept such a thing a lot of things running through your mind thinking that you don't really belong to that family

if this would be the incident, i'll feel bad that my biological parents never took care of me, but i'll feel overwhelmed that another set of couples has adopted me and took care of me. feel more blessed and thankful.

This guy I went to school with learned he was adopted and when he revealed that to his friends, they made fun of him! I was dating one of them and while we were hanging out in a group, they began giving him a hard time. After he left the room, I told them to stop. I said he's awfully lucky because his parents CHOSE him, where their parents were STUCK with them. I've got other friends who are adopted, and they've told me how lost they've felt because they cannot find their birth parents (their birth records are sealed). They all had loving adopted families, but still felt left out. So I cannot imagine how I'd feel if I was adopted-I mean, I can say I'd feel grateful, but to tell you the truth, I just don't know.

Of course at some time you will feel bad. But I will be thankful for they have taken care of me eventhough i am not their really son. Of course I would be asking for my real parents and will also be glad if I would meet them in some time of my life.

May be the adopted child was provided too much of a good things from his/her foster parent in life, he was pampered too much by the adopted family and was never grow up learn to be a grateful person with a thinking head until he is badly spoiled by those parent that buy him everything he cry for. So the child grown up and become quick to anger, there are always a few rotten apples among the basket so to speak. Yes it is inappropriate for an adopted child getting angry after learn that his father and mother are not the biological parent and began to get angry.

I think if it was the case, I would be thankful first the parents raised me up and would treat me as their child. I would also feel sad though wondering why my native parents leave me alone...

I also dont understand why adopted children or maybe I should say some adopted children became rebellious and angry once they realized them being adopted. If I were an adopted child and I know that my adopted parents has gave me nothing but good life and bright future then I dont see any reason at all to be ungrateful and bitter.

good day blinjk, for some reason i do sometimes feel that i am an adopted child. as the treatment they are giving and showing to me when i came back here at home was not fair enough. and although i was the eldest among the four siblings, i am not treated as the eldest as they talk to me like they are just talking to a house helper. fair treatment and respect was lost and i really can't explain why those traits disappear. hence before i left for a job opportunity during those years, the situation is not like this. but when i came back after 5 years, their treatment is all different. what to do, i need to adhere on the changes since i am living with them and cannot avail of my own house & lot for now.

I'm perfectly fine with being adopted since my parents couldn't take care of me. I'm happy with my adoptive parents and I've had a good life with them.

I would also not get angry at any time, it's only because of their upbringing what i am today. In fact, I would be grateful to them, that even after not being their own child, they have given me so much love and care.:)

What you are doing is so right. i would be glad that someone gave love and did things for me and owned me when I had no one. I will be grateful and love them in return. I would never get angry. There can be lot of reason why your parents could not bring you up. But one must be always be grateful for what they got in life. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead
