It's terrible to find out at such a late age - that your whole life has been a lie.
I'm so sorry.
Here is a website for LDA's (Late Discovery Adoptees) -
(not currently working - but try later - )
www.latediscovery.org
Also the adoptee forum - has many members that found out late also -
http://www.adultadoptees.org/forum/index.php
I've always known - but much of my information was always kept a secret.
It's horrible when you don't know your truth.
You are absolutely not alone.
I wish you all the very best. |

Can't imagine the horror. I always knew but parents hid other things about my adoption from me and i found that angering and confusing enough as it is...Good luck, I hope you have someone you can talk to. |

Personally I always knew I was adopted but if you're interested in joining forums to discuss your experience, google late-discovery adoptees. Or join us at http://www.adultadoptees.org/forum/
We're very welcoming and friendly and there's probably some late-discovery adoptees on there who know what you're going through.
Sorry to hear about what you've been put through. |

Wow, I am so sorry to hear that you never found earlier. I wasn't adopted, my father was. I've known all my life that my father was adopted but if I found out now that he was and I didn't know earlier? I wouldn't even know what to think. My heart goes out to you. |
