I have a adoption issue. Help?

Question

I am adopted and I hate it. I'm afraid to tell my adoptive parents because they think it's insanely cool. I don't know how to tell them. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

just think about where you would be if you weren't adopted. you should be greatful to them. they wanted you and chose you.

Answer 2

You need to let your parents know how you feel. If they are bringing it up all the time since they think it's "cool" let them know you would prefer them not to do that. I am adopted as well, but never had an issue with it. I was adopted as a baby, not sure if you are in the same type of situation as that or not. I know I have been looking to adopt an older child and in that instance I would think it might be a little tougher on the child. I think the best thing you can do is talk to them about it. They may not even realize it is bothering you. Believe it or not, us adults do not know everything! We can be clueless sometimes ! Let us know when we are!

Answer 3

I can see how one never wants to be different from their piers. Worse even if your parents adopted.. just to be Kool. Do they keep bringing it up and bragging about it in front of you? Then tell them that you are more than "the adoptive kid" and would appreciate it if they didn't bring it up anymore. You have enough issues without adding more to the pot. Don't let your background define you.

Answer 4

Oh sweetie,unless you are mistreated you are a very lucky person. Your parents chose you and love you,there are so many children out in this world that have no parents to love them. Be blessed and love them back.

Answer 5

just sit dowm with them and let them know just how you feel. let them know what you feel and why you feel that way.
