I'm 17 years old and was adopted a little over 10 years ago by people I love very much. I can't help but wonder, though, about my real family. I have so many questions I want to ask them and I just want to know who they are. I'm not necessarily looking for a relationship - I don't think I could ever even consider calling them mom or dad, but I just have so many thoughts going on.
I'm afraid of hurting my parents - my adopted parents, that is. I don't want to tell them that I want to search for my birth parents because I don't want to upset them. I'm happy that they adopted me and even though we don't always get along, I know I have a better life here than I would have.
Would I be hurting my parents too much if I tell them I want to search for my birth parents? Should I just give up and try to forget about it?
I don't know what I'd say if I found my biological parents, I just feel like it's something I need to do, but I don't want to hurt my mom or dad.
HELP?! (link)
Hi ,
I t hink that if you don't tell your adoptive parents about your desire to find your biological parents you will regret it for the rest of your life.
I'm sure that your biological parents love you very much and want the best for you. They would understand your natural curiosity. It's perfectly natural at your age.
They have probably been waiting for the day that you tell them that you want to look your biologial parents up. Have a little more faith in them.
Have a discussion with them and tell them what you want to do. They know you love them and I'm sure they will support you.
Good luck with your search!
