I was super thankful that my parents told me. With the advances in DNA technology, anyone can get a ancestry.com or 23 & me DNA kit. I'm not sure how I would feel If I had discovered that I was adopted that way.

My advice would be to tell your kid as soon as they are old enough to understand.

Appreciate the information. Since this is the OT, I’ll spill the beans. Between my wife and son, none of us are the same race, he knows…Hope I didn’t out myself, lol

Absolutely.

If your adopted child remembers the moment they learned that they were adopted, then you waited too long to tell them. It has to be the foundatioal narrative starting so early that it's the norm, rather than dropping a bombshell that can change their perception of you and themselves.
