I'm not really sure how I'd feel. I'm sure that I might have a bit of a difficult time at first. As much as I might be hurt, and may think more negative things, I would try to remind myself that there must have been good reasons for my biological parents to put me up for adoption, for my adoptive parents not telling me sooner, and such. Not having been adopted, it is difficult for me to imagine what it is like, but these are just something that I imagine might happen and go through my mind.

i actually thought of that because when i was a kid my 4 older brothers used to tease me that i am only an adopted child. i thought well, i am , i will just prove that i am worth the love of my parents and will not give any fuss about being adopted.

I don;t know how it would feels like but I know there will be a hurt. I will have a lot of questions that would concern more of my biological parents who gave me away but I will never ever be ungrateful to the parents that I have who raised me as their own. I hope you will find answers to your questions so that you can gain a peaceful heart as you live here in earth. I will always prays that everything will turn out fine for you and I know you have a good heart and you love your parents so much.

I don't really know how I would feel, but I'm pretty sure that I would deny it at first and don't think I could easily accept that my real parents didn't want me. However, in the long run, and perhaps now that I'm older, I think it would be easier for me to understand and see the good side of things instead of the insecurities. But still, I would like to talk to my real parents and hear their side of the story. Have a great MyLot experience ahead.

Well it would be rare, very rare for me, because I can't even imaging that my father is not my father and my mother is not my mother and my sisters aren't my sisters, when my father and mother have always showed how proud and happy they feel to have a daughter like me. So I am happy that you could face this with intelligent and understand that they are your real parents because parents arent those who procreate parents are those who give love and protection to the children.

hi:) having a family that love you is definitely a treasure to be cherish, you're lucky because they never treated you as other instead they love you as their own. that's something to be thankful for, and I'm sure they are proud of you because you became a registered nurse.

To be honest, I would always prefer that I found about it later or during my matured years.If I knew about it since childhood, I might always be conscious of how they would treat me , right or bad, I would always account things cause I an adopted child. But when I learned it in my matured years, I would always looked back with emotions of being loved and cared for. I would always be reminded of the many times they have loved me like their own real child , so sincere that I never noticed I am different from the other kids in the family.

hello heish! you are in a sad situation but then be happy that you are loved. there are people who are real daughter or son but then they don't feel being loved. you are lucky enough to be in such a family who loved and supported you all the way. despite what happened to you, you don't have to be angry or feel bad about who adopted you. what matters is they have been a loving parent.

I'm very happy for you! You're very lucky to have such fantastic parents who treat you like their very own. Aren't you glad that out of all the kids, you were the one chosen in such a good and healthy family? Yes, it does hurt knowing that you were adopted and that your parents aren't your true parents. But they were there when you first walked. They were there when you first spoke. And they will always be there for you. Families should take up adopting because there are so many children. specially those in third world countries who have lost their parents and need a loving. Because every kid deserves a good home and loving parents.

if ever i found out that im an adopted child, i maybe hurt but i will always be thankful to the parents who gave me life even though im not there own. for those who are adopted, u may think that something's missing from u or a piece of puzzle is yet unsolved, rather than thinking thayt way, try to see how lucky u are having the family you're not suppose to be part of it. and above all thank God for placing you where you are. he knows whats best for you and he will always guide as you journey in your path.
