I believe that my mom gave me birth and i am not an adopted child. For instance your'e parents will tell you that you are an adopted child? how woul you react? For me i can't figure out i love my parents too much maybe i will cry, its hard to accept and wish its better i was not born if i have differen parents. share with me your reaction please...

First thing if the child is adopted, then parents will never let the child know, unless there is a situation where in the child should know about it. If i would be in that situation then i may start feeling that they are doing some kind of favour on me. Then i may start crying and also thinking, why God has taken my parents and that i am living with someone else. Life will change in a sec when you realize your parents are not actually your parents. Thou they love you and consider you as their own child.

Well Margareta, i beg to differ here and would say that the child must e informed but the relation should be built in sucs a way that there is no harsh feelings or dissappointment. Thats what i feel. May be i am wrong.

One of my friend is a adopted daughter, the first time she knew this, she cried out and didn't believe this, she went our of home for one weeks, but now, she considers her as happier than others because she has two mams and dads, two pieces of love, now she lead a happy life and I also hope other adopted child happy just like her, every chils is important for their parents!

I must appreciate the type of topic you have selected for discussion. Indeed at a time of our lives most of us go through this type of a depression and feeling and think we r an adopted child and not being cared by our parents. However thats wrong. I would never agree if my parents told I was an adopted child. If the amount of love and care shown and provided by the mother is similar to that of what a real mother would have iven, whats the harm. We must feel happy that atleast she saved our life and protected us from so many disasters and questions we never had an answer from. I am sure u understand what i mean.

when I was little my mom used to joke about me being adopted. she did it with my brother too. but I don't know... if they tell me I'm adopted, I'd be really sad because that means that everything that i though i've inherited from my parents, like facial features and traits and stuff... i mean i love my parents and my brother, and that would be devastating to me if i had to meet my biological parents. how could you build a relationship just like that right? it's like everything you have believed in, your comfort, your identity, will suddenly be shattered. but if they admit that to me just for the sake of admitting it and i get to keep my life, i guess i could cope with it eventually. it's just that it's so difficult knowing there could have been another life for you.
