Anyone Adopted? Options

Are you adopted? If so how old were you at adopted at and how old were you when u found out? How were you told?

Im adopted somewhat - not truly adopted but my real father (who has seen me probably twice which was when i was a month old) gave up his parental rights so he wouldnt have to have anything to do with my brother and i. My mom then later remarried and then my father now "adopted' my bro and i. Im so thankful to have the father i do!


So yeah mines not really an adoption but i cant remember what age i found out he wasnt my real dad but i know ive used that against him when we get in fights and it breaks his heart and luckily ive grown up a bit since the last time Ive done that and i wont use that against him.

I good friend of mine was adopted. She said that thier family was very open about telling her as soon as she was old enough to understand. They knew she would figure it out since the family is white and she is Korean, so they didnt want her to ever wonder why or think it was a taboo or shameful thing to be adopted.
