I think the adopted fathers are being a bit selfish and are probably intimidated and insecure about having bio Mom around. I got annoyed that they wouldn't let her finish her thought. It's scary that the younger generation coming up is so intimidated by freedom of expression.

      Hi 👋🏾. Adopted adult here. I’m the eldest of seven children my birthmother carried and birthed and the only one placed for adoption. I have ZERO issues with this. It’s kind of common sense that sometimes people grow up and are now capable of taking care of children. I can’t speak for all adopted people but from what I’ve observed it appears many of the issues adopted children have with being adopted comes from the way bios view adoptees and then teach them to view themselves and their stories.

If my friend didn't have an older sister to help me, I'da been done fkd. :/ also, my dad never tried to approach me about girl stuff and I never asked. I grew up without much of a motherly presence or any female peer to look up to (other than my friend's sister) so it was very hard learning how to deal with certain shit practically blind. Yeah, you can teach puberty or what periods are, but who's gonna teach you what to expect whilst having it? how to effectively clean blood, how to avoid leaks, how often to change etc...and ffs, I had so much trouble realizing I *couldnt* sleep on my side when it was heavy bc it would 90% chance cause a leakage. ughh..

      My mom was like that. My grandma divorced her bio-dad when my mom was young so she never really got to know him. My mom asked about seeing him, and my grandma told her that she could when she was 18. When my mom was 17, her bio-dad died in a scuba accident. So she never got to meet him as an adult and have a proper talk. According to her, she held quite a bit of resentment towards my grandma for a bit because she wouldn’t let her see him.
      For clarification, everything’s all good now. When my mom was 6, my grandma remarried to the man who’s now my “Papa” and my mom’s dad. My mom chats with my grandma every week and we visit as often as we can. But it did put strain on their relationship.

    She said no, and said never bring the subject up again. LOL I said only if you promise to discuss it with your mom. I then went to my friend who happened to be her girl scout leader and asked if it was a subject they covered. She said it could be discussed, but only with the idea that they need to talk to their mothers. I said if they did reinforce that idea I'd appreciate it.
    To this day my daughter (28) appreciates that I cared enough to make sure she talked to her mom about it and did not go any further with the conversation. Cause she said it was the most uncomfortable question I ever asked her. I felt the same.

Dad didn't understand that it wasn't just a mess and some headaches, there's hormonal changes, mood swings, depression, stages of cycle, healthy cycles and unhealthy, embarrassment, shame, fear, choosing the right "equipment".

It doesn't make you sheltered or naive it's the smarter choice to turn to a parent or trusted mature adult, some get their cycles at a younger age than the charts, 7 years olds aren't running around talking about periods, older kids probably aren't the best source of information just because their older, you have teens dumb enough to stab someone almost to death over slenderman, tiktok teens eating poison chemicals and setting themselves on fire and fiddling with electrical wiring.

My daughter and i will have the same talk, it's a talent most of us parents have who weren't raised by Ipads.

    I adopted my niece when she was an infant as my sister has extreme cognitive delay. I explained to her when she was a toddler that my sister is her birth mother. As she’s grown older we’ve had more age-appropriate discussions. It was important to me that she ALWAYS knew where she came from, and had her entire childhood to process, ask questions, navigate her emotions, and grow with the understanding of who she is. I felt like it would cause more harm for her to find out later. So I agree that the intention of promoting the child’s well being should always be at the forefront of our decision making. We don’t always get it right, but the decisions shouldn’t be based on the adults ego/feelings.

    The biggest problem is her involvement up to this point. She chose gay men so that she COULD step in later, she said that. The problem lies in the fact that she is essentially letting them raise her, get through her hardship so that she can step in later and become the prominent force in her life. Feels like using that person. If she wasn't actively involved in her life frequently, she should be told. But there's such a chance that this really messes with their family dynamic, etc at this point. The girl is too young to understand it beyond this is my mom.

    • @pvp6077

      Okay, but it was literally the parents who chose to have the bio mom meet her wothout telling her the truth. They arranged the meetings and then just didn't follow through telling her the truth. To a question she's already been asking.
      The fact that she chose gay men so that any relationship with her daughter would not be superceding their role as her dads shouldn't be treated as some manipulative idea, when so many adoptions retain some right for the bio parent to be involved in the child's life already, regardless if cis, trans, gay, or straight couples are adopting.
      There only problem with her involvement is the adoptive parent's insecurity over their own relationship with their daughter. They made the decision, clear minded and more than once, that it was time to introduce their child to her bio mom. They chickened out, and as a result, the child has now met her but doesn't know her or her own brother.
      That's not right. They are depriving their child of a loving relationship with a biological family member without giving any reason or explanation to the two people involved who are being hurt so they can feel better about themselves.
      If their daughter was really ready to blow them off to move in with a near stranger just because of a biological link, they must be awful parents.
      Personally I don't think it's ever okay to keep a secret of this magnitude from your child unless they were actually in danger.
      If a sinlge mom was having some guy come hang out with her kid, only for that kid to find out years later that guy they met a few times who brought his baby over was actually their father, and the baby was their sibling and they just didn't get told, it'd be just as f-ed up as this.

      ​@@pvp6077 Although I understand your position and also agree with a lot of the points you wrote, where I would disagree would be that we haven't heard the side of the adopted parents yet, so it is wrong to assume it is due to insecurity, etc. Who knows what the bio mom has left out in her story that might be a big factor in the adopted parents reasoning of still wanting to hold off.
      Also I don't think the bio mom should be able to just make the decision to tell the child this secret on her own. She is not the legal guardian/parent, she lost that right when she decided to hand the responsibility of raising her child to someone else. I think she should still make her case and work with the adopted parents to make this finally happen, but it is not her place to make an executive decision like that on her own.
      And if she cannot work out a solution with the adopted parents, and truly believes it is in the best interest of the child (which with all the facts it could very well be), then she should do it the right way by taking it to court and being granted the legal and legitimate right to do so.

      It should really come from the parents to avoid the “distrust” as much as possible but if she’s really been her life long they shouldn’t wait any longer. But I don’t think they can avoid some betrayal because she’d have to explain why she could be in her life but not as her own.

The crazy thing is that I knew I looked different from my sisters. I even remember asking my mom why I didn’t look like my dad and she would say that I did. Still to this day I have no idea who my real father is. All I know is that he was a druggie and homeless and maybe dead by now. Literally what I was told. I felt like I was lied to. Not even felt…. I WAS lied to. This video definitely gave me confirmation on my feelings and I thank you guys because for so long I felt like such an evil daughter for wanting to know. For feeling confused. For feeling angry. Even if my real dad is a shit dad I want to know who I come from. And knowing that more than likely I won’t ever know is something I’m trying to come to terms with but it just sucks.

    “My mother is nowhere near as educated on female anatomy than my father who is a gynecologist. Yet still my mother taught me so much more about being a woman, because textbooks can only take you so far.” If that adopted girl’s dad is a gyno, this plus what the gay man said about leaning on strong women is all the answer you need. Children NEED a mother AND father figure. And if they can’t find them in the home, they will find them own their own somewhere else.

She was upfront and told me that my birth parents were poor and couldn't look after me, my father and my mother raised me the same as their biological son and never treated me differently during my childhood/teen years.
    I didn't resent them or my birth parents because from a young age I understood the reasons why and I only became curious about my parents after I turned 18 and they took me back to Thailand for the first time. I think it's important to tell the child at a young age because when they're close to being a teenager it can be messed up and confusing.

    My sister sent her son for adoption at 18. Unfortunately he found out right when he turned 18 while looking through paperwork at his home. He felt so uneasy he fled his adoptive parents home and nobody knew where he was for months/years. He was hurt and betrayed from lies. 40 years later he still has issues with my sister and he still has a lot of resentment. My sister now regrets not saying anything before. This is also a pretty old mentality and I think now ppl are realizing waiting is not effective at all

My two sons were teasing my daughter a little about being adopted (light hearted she knows she is adopted.) I told the boys "kissy kissy and you both showed up, I had to fight to get her." She thought that was the greatest thing she ever heard. The fact I had to choose and work to get her means so much to her. With adoption you have to work and choose the child, that should mean a lot to a child versus just having a good weekend and then someone else shows up in the family.

    One aspect of things overlooked a lot of the time, is medical history. Later in life, having the real parent's medical history could be of life saving importance. If every woman in that family had breast cancer, or has a susceptibility to certain ailments.... the child needs to know that so they can be proactive from a health standpoint.

He was so caring and compassionate, doing anything he could to go above and beyond to find out what it was that I needed. I will always be grateful to him for that. I learned so much more from him than I could have from her. And he taught me a lesson of resilience as he rose above to raise me on his own after such a heartbreak. After he passed away in 2009 I have lived with his spirit and drive. To me we make our lives as they are, no matter how traumatic our childhood experiences were. I honestly don't feel slighted.

I say "in the moment" bc when she finds out it's not gonna be pretty. The parents aren't considering her future well-being enough.
      She's not being selfish she obv cares for her child. Just bc someone put their child up for adoption does not always mean they dont care. Sometimes depending on how old the mother is and who she depends on it's not her choice. It usually is that they know that they do not have the full resources or capacity to be a fit mother for the child. She's not a surrogate. She didnt volunteer to get pregnant on behalf of a couple.
      Since you're convinced that she's sabotaging wouldn't you think it would be easier if she just told the kid herself regardless of what the fathers said? Or even steal the child bc she's around her so much? She hasn't done any of these things bc she obv respects the parents (even though she doesn't fully agree with them) and loves her child
      In the end it's going to be the other way around. When the daughter finds out the first person she will question is her fathers. that relationship will be sabotaged not bc of the mother who wanted to tell her daughter to make it less stressful for everyone, but the fathers who deliberately hid the truth so their own feelings could be saved rather than the daughters well-being.

    Adoptee story: I wasn’t looking for family members, but I was matched to a half sibling after taking one of those ancestry DNA tests because I wanted to know where my ancestry came from. The kicker is, I lived my entire life believing that a man who died when I was 4 was my biological father, I collected his social security until I was 18 when he died as well. I wasn’t raised around that man’s family though so I didn’t know anyone on that side. So when I approached the half sibling on the DNA site, I had figured they were a half sibling from the man that died.
    I was floored when they told me that their dad was alive and well and they did not even know the man I mentioned who had died or any of his family members. After probing a bit, I got their dad’s number and called him. Told him a bit about my biological mother (I was adopted within my mother’s family) and he did not know my biological mother’s name, didn’t recognize her in a photo. He didn’t even remember ever sleeping with her. Apparently, they ran in the same druggy circles back in the day and they never used first names, only nicknames. My biological mother (RIP) was a drug induced one night stand who he met once and never saw again……so he had absolutely no idea I even existed. 🙃
    We got the paternity test done and yup, he’s my biological father. I guess I was lucky, because he turned out to be a pretty cool guy. We keep in touch but it’s still a bit awkward even after a few years. I never went into DNA ancestry looking for family members, but learned that I had 4 other half siblings and a father I never knew.
    Be honest with your adopted kids about their origins and stop hiding family secrets you feel ashamed about. I promise you they will only look at you differently if you lie to them.

    I can tell you this conversation, I see it happened and is happening so many times. I used to be in the medical field, and now I am a teacher; there is a narrative being pushed onto the newer generations with this gender and non- labeling point of view that makes me question things. Since has the need of the children become so backward. There are girls coming up to me (as a female teacher) asking me how do I take care of myself when I am on my period since I have 2 Dads or no mother (I'm not bashing that at all) but as a woman there are things natural women have to teach the natural girls how to do. There needs to be priorities and not act on what the "feels" are.

She knew if her daughter had an adopted mother this scenario was not as likely to have gone down this way because the new mom would have probably been like " this b*tich ain't about to come in and try to steal my thunder after I've done most of the heavy lifting!"

    As an adopted child, if it’s an open adoption, biological parents have to go through the adoptive parents. Many times as a kid I wanted to know my birth family (I was in a closed adoption/zero contact with biological family). At the end of the day, though, adoptive parents ARE the child’s PARENT. They have ultimate say.
    When biological parents reach out without letting the adoptive parents get involved, it could open up a lot of opportunities for problems. “I don’t have to listen to you, you’re not my real parent!” “I’m running away to my real parent’s house.” “I’m going to go to my real parent’s house cuz they let me do X, Y, and Z.” etc. etc.
    It’s selfish to insert yourself into a child’s life with no legal guarantees that you will 100% stay. It’s selfish to the adoptive parents to do anything with THEIR CHILD without their knowledge or consent. It’s also such a cop-out to use the 10 month old sibling as emotional leverage for their reasoning. SHE👏🏻IS👏🏻BEING👏🏻SELFISH 👏🏻
    Perhaps this woman isn’t telling the whole truth (victim mentality)? Maybe this adoptive couple is dealing with issues in the family/household that she is unaware of? Perhaps the birth family has drug/crime issues? This all seems very sketchy imo and I’m kinda disgusted that Jubilee is ok with finding the grey area of a child’s life/development. Doing this to an 11 year old is putting her at risk fro a traumatic response if her expectations aren’t met.

Her mother lived with her and told the family on many occasions she didn't want her to know she was adopted until she was dead. You can only imagine the pain and anger the 'slip' caused, which still bleeds on to this day as they continue to live together because the mother has no where else to go. My cousin has since located her birth parents (the birth mother unfortunately wanted nothing to do with her but her birth father was overjoyed and they regularly see each other) while there is a lingering resentment for keeping the secret toward her mother that will never fade.

(She was a result of a hook-up. And her father had no idea about her existence.) As she grew, she started to notice that she was of a darker complexion than her mother and she would ask her about it. And she told me her mom would say that it’s because she drank a lot of chocolate milk while pregnant with her. For a long time she was scared to drink or eat anything involved with chocolate. Her mom kept her from knowing that a man is involved in order to give birth. So she thought her mom was her only parent. When she started to grow more and know more about the world, at about 7 she said one day she was looking in the mirror and said to herself “omg, I’m black.” And from then on she said it was really hard to trust her mother. Years later when she was 20, She actually jumped through hoops to find her biological father because it bothered her for very long time that she didn’t know, and eventually did. And they have a good relationship. He father also has a wife and children with another woman, and she gets along with her half siblings. Her fathers other wife is embarrassed about her though, so their relationship isn’t so well. And it’s all because the mom decided to keep this secret. This was the most interested I have ever been listening to someone’s story on a date.

      I can’t believe her father was robbed of the opportunity to be in her life early on. That’s horrible that her mother hid him from her and lied about her race 😂😭 like wtf?!
      It’s cool you met someone interesting on a date 👏🏾💯

    It pissed me off when they got upset with that girl about the gay male couple not being fully equipped to help a girl through puberty. That’s just the facts! Only another woman will 100% understand what they’re going through no man gay or straight will ever understand.

    My parents told me the moment that they knew I would understand what being adopted meant. Well my sister would have told me if they hadn't, but they felt it was only right to let me know. I never knew my birth parents. Never met them. They forfeited that right after neglecting my older sister. I feel very fortunate with how it turned out. My birth parents were degenerates and I'm almost positive I would be dead or in jail if I hadn't been adopted. I have never met them and don't really think about it all until people speak of adoption. My birth father recently passed away and I felt like the tiniest bit of me left. Birth parents should just tell the truth early because kids love their real parents. The ones that raise them.

    This conversation is a microcosm. The internet is the exact same - so many people call you out without understanding the sentiment and intent of a statement and just project their own issues onto your statements. SMH

    I actually have 2 Cousins that are adopted and they said it is very Paramount that they knew Who their birth parents were because the fact of being lied to for all the years, they felt like they were some dirty secret. Thankfully they did eventually learn the truth and they did get closure but as far as the connection they had with their adoptive parents it was damaged beyond repair

    First thought: Talk to the family, does the kid even know they're adopted yet? If the kid cares they can chose to look into the matter at 18, some don't even want to know...
    Until then it's up really up to the adopted parents to figure out when it's best for the child, if the child isn't ready to know the whole truth forcing them could be very bad.
    Real question is why is she even in her life? Did she go out of her way to be their neighbor to force their hand or something cause that sounds kind of creepy...
    Guy who never left no, saying she shouldn't ambush the child and wait for the family to be ready, has the right take. Issue comes to why they don't want to reveal it...
    Does the kid feel uncomfortable around the lady because she's a random person forced her way into her life and they're trying to break it to her lightly,
    You know that the creepy lady you don't like being around is really your mother... Depending on her connection to the family the kid might already know, kids pick up on things...
    Or maybe they asked the kid and they said she doesn't want to know or meet her mom yet, and so they don't want to force her into it... A lot of unknown factors muddy the water...
    Side note, telling her just so she can be part of your other kid's life or relieve your guilt or whatever, but not be willing step up to be part of her life (if kid wants it) is a bit selfish...
    Bro we're not friends, calm down... You guys are great.

    Some other videos I do have to force myself to tolerate but it’s fun seeing different perspectives from you guys being black and me being a Latino. Either way I love the insight and the rough jokes for the most part…..I really really enjoyed this one from someone who was adopted from Guatemala. How insightful you guys were and it’s true what the lady said over the phone. Idk if I would be able to trust my (white) parents if they hide that from me even though I’m pretty sure I would have figured it out sooner or later

    The longer they wait the more the child will hate them for waiting this long.

    There are sooo much problematic shit with adoption and NOT putting the childs best interests first is my biggest one. LYING TO THE CHILD will only hurt them. Let them know as early as possible instead of letting them live a lie. Lots of adoptive parents rather let the kid live a LIE to feel like a "real" parent over prioritizing how HURT their kid will be.

    You still have to think about the little girl’s feelings to know her birth mom gave her up and kept the next baby, may give her feelings of abandonment or affect her self worth why her mom didn’t keep her, and it will also cause an issue about what to do if the girl wants to go live with the birth mom, but she can’t that will cause problems also, and is the birth mom going to be in the girl’s life permanently and consistently it would be unfair to pop up and say I’m your mom I kept your little brother but then not be there consistently she may cause more damage. And what is her reason for wanting to tell her? Is she thinking whats best for her daughter or is it about her own selfish reasons?

    Im late as hell on this video but this is hitting home for me. I married into my wifes family, my wifes sister had 2 girls. She kept the first one and the second is with my wifes brother. They dont know they are siblings. My wifes sister passed and now we have the oldest one who is now 17. I been telling my wife they have to know especially know that my niece feels she has no immediate family but they wanna hold it secret. I have a half-brother and i found out young and jt never bothered me as much as if i found out later on. This situations kills me everytime i see them together and im glad ya pointed out that we suppose to be tending to the childs needs

      Not to mention, me and my wife are haitian and we are fighting to gain custody of our foster kid who is a lightskinned Hispanic. God willing we are able to adopt him he will know off the bat what hes adopted but we will teach him the difference between use and his biological mother
