Could definitely happen. He knows who I am & has never reached out. We are both bastard kids so I'd imagine he would probably be cool to chat with. My bio mom has salted me up pretty heavily to the family so that's probably why. But I'm definitely bookmarking this thread to see if he pops up.

Our son is adopted. Elementary school now, It is always in the back of our mind about him asking about his birth parents since the adoption was multiracial,. He does ask “indirect” questions about it but nothing about him specifically.

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

thats thing about being adopted
you learn none of that shite matters
He will get great lessons on life understanding being adopted can teach him important things

Agreed. As fricked as my life turned out, it would have been 1000% worse if I wasn't given up for adoption. I'm very confident in that.

I was also adopted a couple of days after birth, so my adoptive parents are the only ones I've ever known. I always remember that I knew I was adopted & honestly, I'm proud of that.
I've always been curious of my biological family, but I've never pursued finding out who they are. It's probably too late as I'm 60, and my biological parents may have passed away by now.
My adoptive parents said they were supportive of me looking for my biological parents, but honestly, while curious, I never wanted to do the work to find them & possibly be disappointed in what I might find.
Now, with both adoptive parents passing away, no siblings, no wife, and no children, I'm pretty lonely. I haven't communicated with any relatives since my mother passed away & I've been told that I'm not a real member of the family. Some were upset that I inherited my mother's full share of the family farm, instead of splitting evenly with cousins. I don't know, but I don't miss them at all.
I was blessed to have coached for 35 years and many of my former softball & football players still keep in touch with me. Facebook has been taken the place of my family & I love seeing former players & friends and their families there.
I also run the statewide network of Texas HS softball coaches & run clinics to help our coaches. The one thing that I learned from my parents is to serve others & I enjoy doing that. I'm also cantankerous on here sometimes, but I do vent from time to time like everyone else.
I've lived a great life overall, so that's probably the main reason why I've never really pursued finding out about my biological parents & family.

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.

My mom is the product of an affair, and was adopted when she was born. Best thing to ever happen to her. My grandmother is one the greatest people in the world.
Mom and her birth mother had a cordial relationship for a good while, but it ended on bad terms and now her mother is dead.
She has a really good relationship with her birth siblings though.
From what I gather in these threads over the years, things can usually go pretty well if there’s siblings out there to be found, but it rarely ends good between the parent(s) and the offspring.

For any posters who were adopted in Louisiana & want to find your parents, the process is pretty simple. If you are 18 or older, click here to sign up for the state adoption registry. Your parents or parent must also sign up. If you both sign up, the process begins. The registration is just the 1st step.

I’m adopted.
I’ve met my bio mom and we are very close now. Nature kicked nurtures butt. I’ve got 3 more siblings from the relationship.
My bio dad denies that I’m his. Oh well, his loss.
I’ve known I was adopted for as long as I can remember.

Husband is adopted. When his son started having seizures and there was an urgent need to know if there was an epilepsy history in his family, he did ancestry and found his bio family.
His parents had said they were okay with it but it ended up hurting them deeply so he minimized contact with mom and brother was pretty overbearing.
He does have a pretty cool half sister though.

Blood does not always equal family
It’s a tough pill to swallow but many times people need to let biological family members go.
Some people just suck and are just not good people

Yeah people can be really shitty. My adopted family tried to keep me from being a pall bearer at it grandmother's funeral. I was told that only biological grandkids were allowed. I will never forget how hurt I was when they pulled that shite. I did it anyway and dared them to try and stop me.

That’s completely messed up from them.
