That's the first thing I thought of when I read the title.
Yesterday my parents decide to tell me that I am adopted. I'm 21!!!!

these people loved you as if you were one of their own, with no relation whatsoever.

I'm sure you feel deceived, but you are still blesses. Think of how many kids grow up on orpanages. Think of how many irresponsible parents harm children.
Your parents stepped in and saved you from a life that could have been miserable. I agree the timing sucks, but there might be more news on the horizon.
Imagine not knowing a mother's love. That in itself is a bright spot of you being adopted.
And don't be so mad about your relatives never saying anything, they were held to secrecy by your parents. They might have not "made you" butdefinitely love you.
I pray you won't be angry about this and act differently toward your parents, especially with Mother's and Father's Days approaching.

yeah my dude I know it may be hard to understand but I believe you're blessed. It had to be tough to find out that there are two people out there whoyou've never met who brought you here.
Keep your head up man, be thankful for your family you have

wow, i wouldve had the same reaction as you. i guess they told you at this time because you'd be more mature to handle the situation. but its nice to seethat youre thankful for the situation youre in (being here in this country and going to school)

Just tell them that you love them and appreciate them, and that you need some time to digest such heavy news. Tell them that if they love you they will respectthat, and hopefully after all the news is digested you all can have a healthy conversation about it.
You have a right to be upset, it's only natural. I believe they understand that.

^^yeah I don't think so. It has settled in a bit. I do not feel as upset as I was earlier. It did help to vent a bit though. I am just sitting here typingmy Senior Seminar paper sipping on a jack and coke. I will talk to my parents again tomorrow when they come up.

That's crazy. I'd only be upset about them waiting so long. At least they're telling you now though, and sounds like they are good parents.

Try being made in a test tube where you have no parents at all.

I feel where ya coming from. You are entitled to feel that way. If your adopted parents provided you a safe, healthy upbringing, turn that frown upside down.
