OUCH, b*tch.

That's good they told you though, you could of lived the rest of your life not knowing

How do you know he "blabbed" about it on facebook? ^

86- so you felt it was okay for all of us to know except those people who don't know they're adopted?

Maybe it's a joke that takes a while to understand

I was adopted at 6 weeks old & have always known. There are valid reasons that an adopted child should be informed they are as soon as possible. One reason being for medical purposes. As an adult you are constantly asked about a family history of medical conditions, whenever you see your GP or are being dealt with in hospital. This information is of obvious relevance to the medical staff treating you. The wrong information can have dire consequences. Another reason is to avoid the antagonism that can arise from finding out later in life. I have seen families break apart when the adopted person finds out during their teenage years.

OMG at 33 they shouldn't have told I think if they waited that long it was maybe becaus they where scared of you reaction...FML !

Funny thing is you say your parents and you say their not your parents...

I think one mistake parents make is not talking to their kid like an adult. I was adopted from Russia and my mom was always upfront about it. As long as you reassure the child that they are loved and wanted, I think almost any time is a good time to tell them.

This is what causes kids to go make alliances with crazy alien races and attempt to take over the world using a shiny blue cube, parents!
