Have you ask yourself once in your life if you're adopted? As someone who used to live with my grandparents, I did think if I was really adopted.
Here are some reasons why I did think that I am, may be adopted.
No one saw that my Mom was pregnant of me.
Unlike my siblings, no one can testify to me that my Mom was once pregnant and did gave birth to me. I am the firstborn and most firstborn are adopted. To make it worst, my aunt and uncles kept telling me that I was taken from trash. Some people did say, I came from the splits of bamboo. One evidence that I did take was because I'm hairy as a bamboo shoot.
I have different name than my siblings.
Most of my baby brothers and sisters have second name, I am the only one who got a singular name. It's quite convincing because their names had been mindedly made unlike mine. (It was the other way around now that I knew now, actually.)
I was left to grow with grandparents.
When my parents left for Manila, I have two younger siblings. They all left me by myself considering I'm also a kid that time. My uncles keep chanting that my parents didn't brought me to live with them because I'm adopted. They want to disregard me now that they have their own flesh and blood.
When I reunited with them, I do all the chores.
They did reason out that because I am the eldest, I should assume responsibility. I do think otherwise that time. I was fully convinced that I do all the works with the main reason that they don't care about me, I'm more like a slave to them.
Conclusion:
I did think I was adopted until such time that I opened my heart and my mind that all those reasons was nothing. A lot of people saw my Mom was pregnant of me, just in different town. My name is combination of my parents' name. I was left in my grandparents because I need to go to school. I did all the chores because I am only one who can do it at that time. My siblings breaks dishes everytime they do the washing. Haha All in all, let's keep growing. Everything got reasons. Have a great day!
Hello there... hmmm... there now, adopted or not, thank God you are alive! live and thrive. im not sure how old are you but you can secure you birth certificate? you'll find it out. if you had doubts you may pursue knowing and discovering your roots. if you are truly are not, well, relatives has a way of naming and calling names. either you want to put an end to it or directly ask them, it could be that they're just jealous you are living with your grandparents and you have all the attention they never had! so, dont take it upon yourself. live.
