Should I flat out ask if I'm adopted?

Whenever I have a friend see my parents for the first time they always assume I’m adopted. My mom has red hair, my dad has brown, and I’m blonde. My mom and dad have brown eyes and mine are bright green. My parents are both tall, and I’m 5’1. It would make sense because they were married 11 years before I came along, and my mom would have been 37 when she had me. Should I just ask if I’m adopted?

PS: I’m 14.

Answer #1

yeh I was most parents don’t want to say anything because a fear of loosing you, there may be other options as to why that is though, but hay it can’t hurt just be honest instead of being stressed over it.

Answer #2

I think you should ask ,but I have 6 sisters and 1 brother ,2 of my sisters are ginger ,1 is blond , my older sister and brother are taller then the rest of us ,and 1 sister is a lot bigger ( weight wise ) then all of us , some take after mams side some after dads side , mya1 .

Answer #3

well… just b/c you don’t look like ither of em dosent mean you adpted I dont look like my parents and im not adopted but if you that curious ask and get it over with and you prob. not b/c hopefully your parents would have told you when you was younger so it wouldet really hurt as much as your are older

Answer #4

yeah, I would just ask.

but I look nothing like my parent’s and I know im not adopted. just ask.

Answer #5

I think you should. im adopted too. my mum told me when I was like 5. and I was okay with it.

Answer #6

I think you should. You know one of your parents has to have the same eye-color as you to be your biological mother or father. If they have different eye color(s) as you, they can’t be your parent. I’m sorry to have to say it like this, but it’s true. Another way you can tell is if you have a different blood type from the both of them…DNA…:) If they’re not, don’t be upset. If you’re adopted you KNOW they love and care about you, or they would have never adopted you.

Answer #7

yea ask.but even if you dont look like your parents you probably arent adopted

Answer #8

Yes you should ask.At this age if you are adopted they will tell you the truth.But,just because you don’t look like them doesn’t mean that you are adopted.Plenty of people don’t look like there parent.
