adopted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly? I'd say, "No wonder we don't look anything alike!" I'm adopted...from Asia to an American family so I really don't qualify for this answer. My sister (who was also adopted) just got back from Kazastan with her newly adopted daughter. Funny thing is, Gia looks just like my BIL. I guess some people were ment to be together, no matter what. It's good because they have had three miscarrages and aren't able to have children of their own, but adoption is a great option. More people should adopt and give up their children for this rather than dump them on the sides of the roads, in rivers, streams and in garbage cans.

I will still thank them for taking good care of me even if im not really realted to them they took care of me well . i Praise God for giving them to me

Well, there would be an initial shock factor after all those years my mother told me she was pregnant with me for eight-and-a-half months and then was up all night in total agony (and of course anticipation) when I finally came... so I would wonder why they lied to me all my life. I would wonder what happened to my birth parents and why they gave me up. But above all, I think I would be grateful that I had a family who wanted to take me in and that because of them I ended up having a better life than I could have had or was originally going to have and how much more has been available to me in life because of that. So I would definitely feel blessed above all, probably.

I wouldn't believe it. I'm too much like my mom and I look almost identical to her. However, if I were indeed adopted, I would probably be hurt at first. I wouldn't appreciate them waiting this long to tell me. Eventually I would get past the hurt and start wondering about my birth parents. If they were alive, I'd probably want to see them and ask them why they gave me up. Either way my foster parents would always be considered my parents. They raised me and they loved me with their whole heart and that's all I could ask for.

I think if it were me, I would be grateful that a couple had wanted to take me in. As long as they were honest with me when I asked them about my real parents. Sometimes adoptive parents try to find the right moment to tell their child they have been adopted. It can't be easy for them either, especially when they know they run the risk of the child resenting them for not telling them sooner or the child thinking they stole them from their biological parents. You have to be willing to accept the fact that these people that raised you as their own, never wanted to keep it a secret, but for some children it is the best for them to never know. I personally do not know what it is like to be adopted, but have seen enough adoptions to know that most children accept the adoption when the adoptive parents are honest and open with them about it.

It will be very confusing and frustrating in my part. But somehow, I think knowing the truth brings comfort at the same time because you can't live in a lie you know. After all these years, you believed that they are your true parents and it's amazing to know that even though they're not, they still care for you 100%. That's when you'll find a sweet difference that may serve as an inspiration for you in the future. - Ron Reyes www.ronreyes.co.nr

If they told me now I would be very upset with them, Reason being is becuase they had lied to me all them years and didnt bother to tell me. I think its great that parents adopt and take care of children but I do feel they should be honest from day 1

I would feel really bad . But if it is so, i'll love my parents even more because ,they had loved me more than any parents would love their own child...

I would probably cry and run away. But i know i am not i look exactly like my dad.And i have my moms nose
