Sweet relief

Today, my husband and I decided to tell our sixteen-year-old daughter that she's adopted. Her response was, "Thank God!" FML

I know I would say something like that. My parents and I joke like that all the time. We're all smartasses.

See, this is why I believe in telling adopted children they're adopted before they even understand what adoption is. Learning, "We chose you!" at the age of 3 is much easier to cope with than ,"You're adopted," at the age of 16.

YDI for waiting that long. And I'm sorry, why would you think she would have any different of an answer? She's a teenager. They hate everything and everyone.

Your username is quite ironic, I must add.

An unexpected response to some unexpected news.

At that age everyone hates their parents

Clicked FYL but actually you deserve it, you can't wait that long to tell someone they're adopted.

It's your fault for waiting so long to tell her.
