My gramma was adopted, and nobody ever talked about it or told us kids until we were in our 20's. I guess people didn't talk about that kind of stuff then. Funny your mom told you - does dad know she told you? My best friend is adopted and just found her birth mother (we call her BM). *big hugs*

Dad is currently away on a business trip, so I guess I'll talk to him when he comes back. It's not like it was a big secret, I just never questioned it and my dad's temperament is so alike to my grandparent's that I always took it, you know, for granted. I mean, nothing ever struck me as odd, but then again, I suppose that you never go ahead and think of these kind of things.

Thanks for the hug. :)

*pets you* That must be rather confusing! But it seems like your dad and his parents are okay, or aren't they?

[betsyli]

*nods* I can't quite wrap my head around the fact just yet. Oh, my Dad and grandparents have always been fine, typically quarreling, discussing and arguing their way through the years. Which I guess why it shocked me even more.

*huggles to you and Klasnic---I can't believe that he needs at kidney transplant. At his age!*

Oh God, that must be a shocker. And so confusing!! *hugs*
But: Is your dad happy with his parents? Maybe his real parents had some good reasons to give him away, i don't know. Than it was maybe the right decision? The point is: If your dad is happy in his life, than everything is okay, don't you think?
The question that would be really important to me: Does your dad have plans to get in any of concact with his real parents?? Three grandparents, that would be nice... *smiles*

*hugs.you*. I guess everything will be clearer in a few days.

Shock and confusion are pretty much all I feel right now.

The funny, or rather, ironic thing is that we've been living with my paternal grandparents for the last 12 years or so. And they are so alike in temperament and quirks that I just couldn't suspect that dad was actually adopted. It still sounds weird in my head whenever I think about it.

Mom told me that not only have they kept contact with his birthparents and biological siblings, but I used to go to their houses when I was little. I'm relieved that, at least, it's not a big hush-hush affair and everybody is still on friendly terms.

*hugs you back*

[robtengel]

Sounds not that bad in my ears.
I really hope the shock will disappear after a while and the situation becomes some kind of normal. Keep me/us updated, okay?
*hugs*

[betsyli]

*nods* It sounds pretty okay to me too. I think the weirdest part is getting used to the idea of having more biological relatives. I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet.

Of course I'll keep you updated. :)

[petiole]

oh wow, I hope your alright. But it sounds like your dad is okay with it :)

[betsyli]

I'm okay. Just weirded out. Dad is pretty much okay with it, I guess. I haven't had a chance to talk to him about it, but then again, he's not the most emotional and divulging of men.
