The question is deep, if I find out that my current parents are not my biological parents. What will be my reaction?
Parents are parents even if there is no blood tie, but it depends on how you are treated there; I think that's where your reaction will come from.
Let me give an instant to a former neighbor; I have a neighbor who has five children, and the most senior among the children is a girl. So when my neighbor packed in. initially, I thought the girl wasn't her child, but it turned out not so.
Every day around 5 am, she would wake this girl up and ask her to go and start preparing things for baking; whenever the girl was done , she would start house chores, and then when she was done, she would make food and give it to her younger one.
If she makes a small mistake, if you see the way this former neighbor beats her daughter like a criminal, you will think that she stole something from the pot or even from her purse.
At times whenever the girl finishes feeding her younger ones, she will go and hawk in the market. She dares not come back from the market without selling her goods or coming back without complete money.
At first, I used to mind my business, but as the beating continued, I couldn't anymore, in fact, the last one that got me upset was when she poured hot water on her child, simply because she used sleepy eyes to pour small leftover soup in the pot away. She was walking and tripped, that is how she knocked over the pot of soup.
I called the police to arrest her, and my neighbors called Human Rights to pick her up. Then, an investigation was made to ascertain if she was her child; it was her child for real.
In this case, imagine if you were the child, how could you react? I know your mind, over happiness will kill someone that day, the joy of being free from torture and pains.
For someone like me, if I find out that my current parents are not my biological parents, I would ask them what they mean by not being my biological parents and how it happened; so many questions would run through my head. I will enter my room and calm down first. Then when I come out so many questions will follow
I will take time to process it. I will ask myself if I was really adopted from the orphanage. Is this a prank, then I will smile in confusion and anger to myself; I think this is a prank. Then where are my biological parents? Who are they? If it was an orphanage home, How did I end up there in the orphanage home? Was I picked? Was I brought in by someone?
Why did they choose to tell me now what happened? What changed? Are they tired of me, are my biological parents looking for me?
The questions will be so many that they might not be able to answer all.
In the situation where I was picked, then they took me to an orphanage home to properly adopt me. I will forever be grateful to them, or if I was adopted directly from an orphanage home and cared for, I will appreciate them for loving me.
In a situation I was swapped and sent to the orphanage by doctors or nurses, God help both the nurses and doctors that planned it; everywhere go be yam pepper soup, that is where they will see wahala in paradise
They will remain my parents, and I will still love them, Cause is not easy to nurture and train someone else child with love and care and quality attention. I love my mother, and I can't depart from her, but she has always stood by me in so many
,they will always be my parents, nothing change.
