If you found out you were adopted, would you...

To be honest, I don't think I would care to meet them unless if THEY looked for me. Then again, i'm not in that situation so I really can't say...

I'd wonder who the FUCK chose my asshole drunk retarded parents and how they got away with doing that.

I'm 22 and i have never met or even know who my father is, the subject was never brought up while growing up and ive never cared enough to ask. If he were to ever turn up at my door then he would be in for a shock because i would tell him to piss off and then shut the door.

Of course. But they could never be to me what the other two were.

My Mom was adopted, and that certainly explains why she is the only person in her biological family that is not addicted to drugs, is able to hold a job and pay her own bills.

If I was adopted, it would certainly explain why I, other than my Mom, am not addicted to drugs, am able to hold a job and pay my own bills.

If I found out that I was adopted, I might run a quick facebook search, but my family life is dramatic enough as is, nevermind my biological parents.

I would want to see who and what kind of people they were. I wouldn't want to talk to them or get to know them. Just see who they were.

I wish I was adopted but if I was I would want to know why they gave me up

For me it wouldn't be important that I was adopted, a mother and father are the people who cared for you as a child, not the egg and sperm donor.

I don't think you could really say unless or untill you were in that situation. I know one thing though it's not about biology it's about who provides the care nurture guiadance love and support. Being a mother is entirerly different to being a mum x

"I would probably want to meet them at some point "

My brother-in-law's oldest sister has adopted two children from orphanages. I don't know if they're old enough to understand what "adoption" is, but the family doesn't really make a secret out of it. (mainly because we don't care who they were born to - they're family now and that's all that matters in that aspect)

I don't know if the younger child has living parents but I know the older one does. Her new mother makes a point of sending them yearly updates on her progress. So I'm sure if she wants to contact them she will have the ability.

My boyfriend doesn't know his dad and has never talked to his mom about who he was or what happened. He says he would like to know but has no interest in ever meeting him.

I wouldn't try to meet them. I know from experience that I wouldn't because I've never met my biological father before and I've never made the attempt of knowing who he is or trying to contact him.

The one thing that I can say I would do would be to try and find my half-siblings, if they even exist. No matter what you can't deny the fact that there's someone running around that is your half-brother or sister, I mean to me that's pretty important.

My best friend and her adopted sister were adopted and they had no desire to meet their parents. They were second children from China.

My dad received details about his adoption as he lay dying so we know the name of his birth mother - now dead. I found her niece on the internet who told me a little about his half-sisters. However, he never wanted to know about his birth mother in case he upset her life and I have agonised as to whether to keep him a secret from his half-sisters or tell them so we can meet. The birth mother is dead but she had him when she was 16 yo and they may not know about him :o( I would hate to spoil their idea / memories of their mother - but it is interesting.

Any ideas / opinions would be appreciated.

id kill them..
