In my near 22 years of life I have never wanted to meet my bio parents but never would I deny someone else the opportunity to do so. Granny is absolutely fucked.
Couldn't get past the first few mins because of how descriptive it is. The amount of phrases used that you see in books/fanfiction immediately made me believe this is fake.
Good story but it really sounds like it was written by chatgpt. Maybe they just used it to improve on a true story but i cant unhear the chatgpt isms now ive noticed it.
Ehh OpenAI the devs of Chatgpt just used a certain writing style for the majority of training data, so if you write similar to that style it looks like chatgpt

Not sure if it's AI or made up, but it didn't sound real. 1: The whole story sounds so emotionless. If you were told at 21 you're adopted, your whole world disappears under your feet. You don't go "ok, no wonder I have curly hair, lets meet them in a week and all is fine." 2: The camera angle seems to be from the outside looking upon the family (written in 3rd party focus), not from OP's perspective (1st camera angle). There's details about the adoptive parents telling the OP about the adopting process that an OP wouldn't write down like that if it was them writing it down on Reddit. You just heard your parents aren't your parents. That's OP's focus, not "it took long to finally adopt a baby". 3. During the meeting with the bio parents the writer switches the name of the bio mum to Linda twice. I don't have experience with AI's, but switching names of characters is a typical beginner writing mistake (especially when you don't re-read your work).
I don't know if any of these reddit stories DON'T mention therapy. I don't have an issue with therapy, but it feels like people go pay people for every little thing they can. Can always tell poor people don't write these stories. Maybe the fake ones.
Would say it was a huge W for OP except the meeting of her bio grandma. Would say she got 4 parents and 4 grandparents (assuming both on the adoptive sides are still alive)
though this is wholesome. i'm going to say that his adoptive parents should have told OP earlier. imagine at age 21 you find out the parents you knew your whole life aren't your biological parents and then meeting your bio parents who have a whole family themselves within the span of a few weeks. it's better to tell kids their adopted earlier
Look, it's a cool story but definitely some writing exercise. The writing is so impersonal for a story that is so obviously personal. "Ethced into their faces", really? I guess I'm used to a lot of the cheating stories and men writing in a very matter-of-fact way but there are way too many literary devices being used here. Either this person is in uni for literature or they are faking this entire story, either way they need to improve their writing because it's kind of weak, even for an amateur.
we don't. It's clearly written by AI. One possibility, just an AI generated fiction, another one is true story, but OP decided to put it through chatgpt or something and wanted specific amount of words so that it'll be long enough to be used for youtube/tiktok.
Just think of how you would write a story after your parents just told you after 21 years you aren't biologically related. You'd break down, maybe start cursing and would rethink your life. Not "lets meet them in 2 weeks." Nowhere in this story you see OP's emotions. In fact, you get to know more of the adoptive parent's emotions than OP's.

How can both the maker if the story and the poster of this channel not edit the obvious mistakes out before posting, like Rose turning into Linda mid conversation twice. 😬 It doesn't make the story believable if you don't even know the names of your characters.
You dont tell your child at 21 that they are adopted, you tell them as soon as they can understand words. Three maybe four. Children are malleable and can easily adapt, so sooner is better than later.
I very much disagree. I would adapt to being adopted much sooner and better at 21 than at 4. At 4 years all I would hear is that they are not my parents not seeing all the love and effort. At 21, while it would be an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, I would be able to put things into a better perspective.
The moment I understood I knew. They never hid it from me. I lived with it growing up. And I met my bio parents at age 38. I don't know if its right or wrong time wise. Though I agree with your comment. However I can also agree with the "waiting" comments as well. Heck I don't know. I'm 44 now and it was just never a big thing to me. Also my adoptive parents are just...my parents. Always have been. Always will be.
@@Matt-li5pm so if both parents are white and the child is asian they should pretend they birthed the child? Hard truths only get harder over time. If you lost your leg at 4, by 21 its not problem. If you are 21 and lost your leg last week its devastating. I have a child who is now a teen and i have never ever lied or omit any thing from her, she simply absorbs what I tell her no matter how harsh it may seem. The most bitter truth is better than the sweetest lie.
@@Matt-li5pm While you *might* be better emotionally equipped to process the information at 21 than at 4, you have to bear in mind that if you learn it at 4 there was never any real lying going on, but if you learn at 21 your parents have been functionally lying to you for a decade. And it's oddly infantilizing to decide on someone else's behalf that they're not "ready" to learn a major piece of information about themselves until an arbitrary age. If you learn it at 21, you question why they didn't tell you sooner. And if you adopt a child and don't tell them until a certain age, you risk them finding out through alternative means. What would happen if the protagonist of this story stumbled upon the letter from their bio parents when they were 16? They'd be left completely on their own with regards on how to process the information, and depending on where they are mentally, that could end catastrophically. I've seen firsthand this sort of knowledge completely destroy people, and people are much more capable of destroying themselves at 21 than they are at 4.
@@Matt-li5pmA child doesn't need to SEE the love and care you spent. A child KNOWS you love them. Lying for 21 years is something a child will never forget. And kids at 4 years will just follow your lead without getting traumatized. Now think of what telling a 21 years old that their parents aren't their parents will do to them. I had to tell my kids that I'm transgender at young age. (3 and 4 at the time). They just said "OK." It only took a week for them to go from mummy to daddy. Many adults still misgender me after years by accident, and have more problems with the situation than kids. It's their normal to have 2 dads now, just as it's normal to grow up with parents who aren't biologically related. People have the unnecessary need to "protect the children" and end up harming them by waiting until they are adults to tell something.
Rose is kinda fucked Up. She should,have told her husband before they got married and had kids. That is totally fucked up to still keep,it a secret and let it out now that the kids is back.
Do you know the costs of houses and apartments nowadays? In my area the average house is like what 1million dollars (Over exaggeration but pretty accurate).
Cause a 250k starter home was over 400k, on 1.27 acres of land and no bigger than an apartment, so unless I was supposed to start saving when I wasnt even born. Im living with my parents.
I really can't believe Linda tried to tear them apart like that even though Rose is CLEARLY old enough to connect with her OWN daughter.

We need more wholesome content like this to remind us the world isn't nothing but shitbags and rampant degeneracy.
Amen to that
Yup, agreed. Apart from Linda, the nasty grandmother, it was a super wholesome story.
Classic case of narcissist caring more about image and other people's opinion over their own child. Disgusting.
I am so happy for OP. She now has 4 loving parents.
The grandma seems so self-absorbed just by her demeanour.
I could never fathom the whole adopting a child and not telling them early on. You’re setting yourself up for a huge heartbreak later on
