You would just like to open your heart to new people, people that can explain your missing 'chapters'.
It couldn't hurt if you referred to them more often as your parents, instead of 'the people that i'm living with'. They're more your family right now than your biological family.
When you're 18, I'm sure you'll be allowed to look at your birth records, but there really isn't much you can do until then. Ask your family, talk it out, and then respect the answers you get, until you can get different ones.
Don't hurt the people you have now, by making them feel like they aren't good enough. [ killerface's advice column | Ask killerface A Question ]
