I completely relate! (Reply to this comment)

I know how you feel about the "real" mother/father (in my case, sister as well!) comment!
It really is something that people don't understand until it is explained, and you sound like the sort of person who has no problem explaining it! I also use the term "biological" rather than birth- uncommon these days.
Great review- thank you for sharing!

You were their only child. It's different when they have one of their own as well, at least in my case. Thanks for sharing.

And wonderful parents too! I agree totally that honesty even (especially) in difficult things is the best way to go.
Cheers,

and, it sounds like you had great parents (better than many biological kids can attest to, no doubt)... Thanks for the great read - Gina

Honestly, I can only guess how someone would take finding out after years of thinking you weren't adopted. I'd venture to guess that one day he'll find out and he's not going to be very happy when he does. However, he might be more resilient than that and he'll handle it just fine. I don't know how I would have reacted had my parents waited until later in my life to tell me.

You're Lucky! (Reply to this comment)
by sumo_rhino
It sounds as though you had an wonderful circumstance.
* * *
My in-laws adopted a boy (from birth) who is now 17. His siblings are 39, 37, 35, and 33 -- and he looks nothing like them. But, my in-laws decided from the beginning never to tell him he was adopted.
I've long suspected that he will "figure it out" one day (they all have jet-black hair and thick eyebrows, he is blond with tight curls) -- or eventually learn that perhaps his blood type is different than "Mom's or Dad's."
Everyone has respected their wishes. But, I wonder if it'll be worse in the long run to find out after a lifetime.
I thought I'd ask someone who has a much better understanding of the circumstance than I.
