Have you ever thought that you were adopted?

I was raised by my biological mom and my dad. My dad is not my biological dad. However, it takes more to being a daddy than just donating sperm. I was five when I was told that my dad was not my real dad. It was ok though because my dad was great. He comforted me when I was sick or sad and he give me rules to make me a better person. He guided me through my like. I could not have had a better daddy than him. My mom was always upfront with me about my bio dad. I did go meet my father but it was no great revelation. He was not all that and I do not see a need to see him again. He was a man who could not be a father. I have two half sisters and one half brother. I too met them and that did not really work. I felt no connection to any of them. I thought that seeing them and getting to know them would make us family but it did not. I have a family and we may not get along all the time but we are family no matter what a piece of paper says. My niece was raised by her mom with out a father at all. She felt the need to find him and confront him. I told her to meet him for herself not for answers. There are no answers. These men do what they do because they can. I know of a young lady who was raised by her grandmother as well. Her mother was no mother so her mother steped in and did the best she could for the child. This is what is ment by being raised by a village. I have met my biological dad and I would never tell my daddy that I did. I would never do anything to hurt my daddy and that I even thought about finding my biological dad would hurt him. He would think that he was less than a good dad if he knew. It is hard for men or women who give all they have and all the love they have to a child. Then the child goes to another person and calls them mom or dad. That has got to really hurt them. I do not think that it is something easy to get over. I can not say anything about your relationship with your adopted parents and your real mom but remember there was always someone there when you needed them. It takes more than dna that makes you a mom or dad. I wish you luck with your family and hope for the best. If they did not love you they would not have adopted you.
