Answer #1

Determine it by this question: What GOOD can come of it if they’re told ? - if none, don’t.

Answer #2

Well ultimately it is your parents decision when they tell them but personally I think it would of been better if they knew their whole life. My cousin was adopted and she always knew, it was just a part of her life. A friend of mine however found out she was adopted when she was 25 and she was hurt and angry that her parents kept it from her. Sometimes it’s hard for parents to tell their kids that. Have you brought it up to your parents? Talk to them about it and find out why they haven’t told them, maybe they have a good reason.

Answer #3

I think they have a right to know. Tell your parents they should know.
