Wouldn't it be nice if adoptive parents just told their kids the truth? You were so strong and brave at 16 to do that. I'm so glad you made up with your brother.

So strange that they were ok to openly talk about you being adopted but not your brothers story. This must have been very hard for you. On another note, you’re a great story teller.

They lied because they were frightened to loose you but they lost you because they lied. They should have been honest. I'm sorry you went through this.

My daughter is adopted from birth, I was in the delivery room when she was born. We have always been open and honest with her. I have told her from the beginning that she grew in my heart and not my belly.

All those people saying you shouldn't have opened up pandora's box and secret should be kept.Are absolutely out of their mind. secrets like this should never be kept.It doesn't just affect them.It affects everyone. i also come from a family in which there was a big secret similar to this. Hence, why I never keep anything from my son. very cool story

I was adopted at birth. I always knew because my parents feared someone else would tell me and I would be destroyed. Found my bio parents in graveyards. But I am extremely close with their siblings. Her brother is more like a brother to me than an uncle. Secrets create the trauma more than being open and honest with your children.

I was adopted as a child. the whole family knew but no one told me. one day when I was about 12 years old I got into an argument with my younger sister. she was mad at me and screamed out "that's why you're adopted". that's how I found out I was adopted

Why the parents were just not upfront and honest is beyond me. All heartache they caused from keeping secrets.

I understand where you coming from, but there is the other side... Your parents wanted to love and raise children. But it must not have been possible for them to do it naturally. You and your brother made this possible for them and you gained a family in the process. No one's childhood is perfect.

Honestly, this feels more like trying to find cracks in the family and kind of breaking the idea that the brother was somehow more ‘real’ or more theirs. I also get the impression that there’s an intention, maybe not fully conscious, to damage or even destroy the relationships within the family. It seems more about unresolved emotions like jealousy and rejection than just facts, and even if there’s truth in it, the way it comes out feels quite damaging. If there was real love and emotional security, I don’t think any of this would even matter this much in the first place. I hope you feel better now.

chances are your mum would have favoured your brother even if you were biologically hers too. it was never your fault though

I have adopted 2 children, and have kept the adoption open, meaning we can have contact with their birth parents. The mother of one of my children is not in a good place mentally so we don't see her often. The parents of my other child are quite involved actually... Regular visits and we talk on the phone often. Myself and his bio mother have become very close, to where she confessed she sees me as her mom too, someone to turn to. I know this situation would not work for everyone, but for me... I am more than happy to share my children so long as they are safe. I feel it's their right to know their parents if possible - in our case both sets of parents/mothers love their children very much but just couldn't care for them for various reasons. This way they at least haven't lost them completely.
