When I learned that I was an adopted child I can't believe but I'l accept it. It's very sad to hear about it. How can you handle this situation when you know your real world?

Why did you think it was sad? Weren't you happy with the parents who brought you up? I'm not sure what you mean when you say 'your real world.' Do you mean you want to go back to your natural parent, or what?

I am not adopted so I would only be guessing but it depends on how and when I was told that I was adopted.If I was told when I was young and that my parents said that when I was old enough, I could search for my biological parents, i would be cool with it. But if they kept it a secret until I was about 16 and then told me, I would be so hurt . I would think that they were lying to me all this time and I would resent it.How did you handle it? Do you want to search for your biological parents?Forgive me for asking.

I have to say congratulation to you! It have never bad to know the truth, and you are lucky because you was adopted by someone else, and I'm sure it is a good family with a big heart. Not much of people do it. And they have raised you up until now. You should to be thankful them and happy. Just imagination if no one adopt you, where you are now? who you will be? So i think you should be happy, think positive and look forward. That's a life.
