How do I tell my parents i'm adopted?

So, I have never really fit in with my family. Everyone has blonde hair and green eyes, I have brown hair and brown eyes :/ Also, I don't get on with my 'siblings' or any other family member, for that matter. I think it's time I told my parents that i'm not really their kid, just an adopted one but I don't want to hurt their feelings and break their hearts with the truth! It will come as a huge shock to them and I want to know how to soften the blow for them. So please, any tips on how to make it easier, and I only want real answers, no stupid comments! This is serious!

    I'm sorry but this sound stupid as ****. IF you're adopted you're parents would KNOW because they have to do paper signing and so on. Like gurl, you on crack?

    Different eye and hair colour doesn't mean you're not related. My brother had very blonde hair when he was young, both my parents are brunette.

    My aunt and her husband both have blue eyes yet their kids have brown.

    It's a relation thing, someone in the family had brown eyes and they got them.

    And if you were adopted they would know because THEY adopted you!

    Seriously stop trolling.

    How can you not expect stupid answers to a silly question. If your adopted your parents will know because they would have adopted you?? you dont just get placed with a family. Do your research first if you want nice answers on here.

    Take them to Adoption R Us and as you walk round the shop explain to them how you know you're adopted and they don't.

    In other words you couldn't be adopted without them knowing. Your hair and eye colour doesn't mean you're adopted and I haven't the time to search for links as example of children who look 'different' to their families but aren't adopted. My cousin looks completely different to the rest of the family but we know he gets his hair colour and eye colour from our great grandmother.

    I'm pretty sure they would know that already. And how are you so sure that you're adopted?

    If you're adopted then they probably know already.
