What would you do if you discovered today that your present parents were never your biological parents?

    I would be happy - especially if my biological parents wanted to be in contact with me and I had the chance to have a relationship with them - a parent/child bond would be welcomed.

    And then I would also be really angry that I had tolerated and endured the childhood and life that I have with my parents FOR NOTHING!

    Rejoice. It would certainly explain a lot. I would start looking for my biological family. Still love the family that I was raised with, but would want to meet the others.

    Seriously, though, I know my parents are my parents and this would never happen.

    I'd be devastated. My parents are awesome. Dad is the best and mum is the epitome of motherhood. i always wanted a guy who was like my dad and thats what my guy is like.

    I want to be my parents child in every birth.

    However if they were not i would still seek my biological parents to find out if there were any inherent diseases in the gene pool. It would be good to know why they gave me up but they would neve rbe my parents. Just contributors of my genes. But my present parents ( and i know they are my bilogical parents will always be my mum adn dad)

    Funny that you ask this. My mom has always mentioned that it's weird that i'm way too good looking to be their daughter! Geez your question has indeed open up to a new possibility.

    I guess i wouldn't care less if my dad wasn't my biological father as he has not paid any decent attention on me since i start to grow up. But if it's my mom who's not my biological mother i'd be so devastated and feel so touched too as she has sacrificed a lot for me and has always given the very best for me.

    I would want to find my real parents, but not love my present parents any less. After all, I am more their child than those who conceived me without care.

    Nothing. My parents gave up a huge chunk of their lives to care for me and bring me up. Why would nine months of gestation time when I wasn't even aware change how I feel about that?

    Well i've lived with a step dad since I was three, over 30 years now, and he has been more of a father to me then the selfish, drunken abusive womanizing bastard who conceived me and abandoned me without looking back, as for my mother, I wouldn't care she is AWESOME, my mum, my best friend, my everything. I would love them unconditionally as they have loved me all these years.

    Treat them well as they brought you up from young.Give them the respect they deserve, even if you want to look for the biological ones.

    I wouldn't care because they have tooken care of me my whole life but for my real parents they better not say **** to me because they would be done because they gave me up and NOW they want me.

    i woudlnt care, b/c all that matters to me, is that i have someone in my life that cares about me. If my parents arent biological and still love me the way they do, that is a plus.
