Today, I discovered that I'm adopted. How? After a great lunch, I asked my uncle how he'd made the salad dressing. He replied, "Haha! It's a secret family recipe, my dear!" I wouldn't have thought twice about it, were it not for my parents' shocked expressions, and the long, awkward silence. FML

If I ever adopted children, I wouldn't hide it from them until they were that old :( I'd make sure they knew as they were growing up that I had chosen to raise them, even though I wasn't their biological mommy, because I loved them. I'm sorry you had to find out at your age, OP. I know you must have been very upset.

it must be tough to find out about it that way. but maybe you should try and look on the bright side of it. they have taken care of you ever since you were a little child, without ever giving up. and what's more, the lack of a biological bond does show that it involves much bigger love and thoughtfulness (they have chosen you to take care of, not only for them to make your life happier, but also for you to make theirs happier ones). anyway, i really think it must be hard, especially in societies where everything seems to have been created "built", and not seen as a construction. i mean, we must fight for people's affection everyday (no matter if there are biological bonds or not). all the best!

That isn't so bad, OP. And it seems as though you have loving parents. If you ask politely, I'm sure they'll tell you the secret family recipe.

Hahahaha. Really? Does FAMILY SECRET. With SHOCKED PARENTS. And LONG, AWKWARD SILENCE. Ring a bell? Eh. I guess not. OP is adopted, parents hid it from them until uncle said family secret in which OPs parent can't believe he just said that because OP is adopted. Get it now? ._.

Maybe they adopted the recipefrom the internet and made their own so i which case you would know more about its experiences than your other family members relating you to it more then the others

Thanks for trying, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the uncle jacking off in the salad dressing.

I remember I was having a talk with one of my cousins who is adopted. I said "Yeah but everyone in our family loves sea food!" she replied "I'm NOT from this family". Awkward shit
