Would you be mad that your parents never told you? Or mad at yoruself that you ever found out? Would you seek out your biological parents? etc...


I think I would be mad at myself of finding out..not knowing would probably be better. Also, I would not seek out bio parents, they'd be total strangers to me.

Well, I am adopted and I actually forget that I am unless the topic comes up. It would be hella-weird if I wasn't told, though. :confused:

I think I'd be angry that I was never told, and that I had to find out for myself.

i wouldnt really care, and as far as biological parents i dont see what the point is in trying to find them.

at 21 I don't think I'd really care. Probably wouldn't give a crap about birth mother either.

I know I'd probably be affected in some way... I think I would try to find my biological parents, I'm a curious person and I know I would wonder what their background was and what they are like.

I'd hug my parents more for being that type of loving person that would adopt someone else' child?

Well I don't hug my parents as it is...but uh, I'd appreciate them more :D

Wouldn't have any interest in the biological ones really. Even if they had good reason to give me up, we really dont have anything in common and lived life apart, so why start?

Except, oh I don't know, GENETIC CODE. ;)

That is not really any reason to get to know them though unless you want a kidney or liver transfer ;)

Gotta be prepared. :D


P.S. I don't know my birthparents, nor do I particularly want to.

My nature is to probably find out who my birth parents are... just to know...
