    I mean… this is type of stuff is why I kinda sus if my parents are actually my real parents. (I actually posted a No Stupid Questions post about it) This kind of thing is very common in China where I was from, and the authorities don’t really like talking about the issue because it looks bad. (I think its partially fueled by the One Child Policy.)

    But then again, my current parents told me about it so it doesn’t exactly make sense to tell me about the kidnapping issue if they were not my real parents. (Or maybe its the ruse all along… idk thinking about it makes my head spin)

      Maybe your parents don’t know either. They’re just covering all their bases. What if you were kidnapped from another family and switched with the baby they had, at a park or something- while no one was looking? Maybe your parents went through the whole changeling movie and just decided to put it to bed and accept the circumstances. This probably brings you no peace, but to be honest; it doesn’t matter too much if you did or didn’t, they’re still your parents for better or worse. (I look almost exactly like my mom, so I know I’m hers, but it’s not a warm thought if it makes you feel better)
