I was rejected by my adoptive parents because I found my biological family. I was raised in a very traditional home. My adoptive family was loving and able to provide a nice life style. I grew up happy and had a great relationship with my adoptive family. At age 52 I did Ancestry. My kids wanted to know our ethnic background. I never expected the results I was about to receive; I accidentally had stumbled upon my biological family; my bio parents had died but I had six siblings. They family is very close and I fell right into place like I was there all along. I knew though that as soon as I told my adoptive parents they would have a melt down. The day I told my adoptive mom she uttered the words, I'd never adopt again. Know this. I was a good kid. The star athlete in school. Nice to everyone. I was a good son. Now everything is different. My adoptive mom also said my mom and dads first and last names. Like they slipped out. I had asked years earlier if she knew anything so I could learn of my medical history. I was always told they knew nothing. I tried to give her an out and told them I loved them but they immediately kicked us out of their lives. They even blocked my kids from calling them any more. I know it is jealousy and if I had to choose I would pick blood every time. I can't explain the inner connection. I never felt that with my adoptive parents. It's like I was numb. Although we were "close" I never confided in them probably afraid to tilt the cart and then have to deal with the whole rejection thing we all get blessed with. So are there others who have experienced this? I still love those who raised me and wish they were still part of my life. They will always be in my heart.
