i mean theres a huge possibility those jokes your older brothers or some random evil cousin used to pull out that they got you from somewhere to make you cry can be true.
Now dont tell me nobody told you that.If you were born to desis you would have been told :
When I was younger, my mom and dad always used to joke about me actually being adopted. They said my dad had found me in a garbage can when I was a baby :D
But anyways, I seriously doubt I was adopted. I really resemble my mother.
Well firstly our fammily is such that it keeps meticulous records on each of it’s members even when they are 7000 miles away!
Secondly the resemblance between us all is not merely visible we all have the same blood, and at least between two brothers and a sister we have shared blood becuase of the number of donations we have had to make to one another…
Thirdly if I was by chance an adopted child where the hell did I get the same fighting streak and recognisable defaince/stupidity against all odds.:faris:
Fourthly let us entertain for a moment that I really was an adopted child, does it make a scrap of difference to my loyatly and commitment to the cause of the Khan and clan?
Fifthly to even suggest such a notion is frankly riddiculous and a man has more chance of sailing a fleet of 15th Century schooners to the moon and back.
I don't know that I'm not adopted except my mother assures me that she watched me being born (you know the big mirror on the ceiling of the OR) as she had a c-section performed. So the details seem to give credence to her story :)
haha we might take this thread and laugh it off, but consider this story (heard it on NPR a few weeks ago)…
Newser) – A sickly infant snatched from her Harlem hospital crib has been located—23 years after she was kidnapped. Nejdra Nance of Atlanta contacted the distraught mom who always thought her daughter was alive. **Nance spotted photos of missing “Carlina” online and thought they looked amazingly like her own baby photos. “She always had a feeling she was different from the people raising her,” said her biological grandmother. DNA tests have proven that she is indeed the missing child of Joy White. **
At the family reunion “she didn’t even seem like a stranger, she just fit right in,” said her grandmother. “She brought her beautiful daughter. It was magic.” The family hasn’t yet pressed her on details of her upbringing. “That will all come,” said her grandma. “What’s important now is our baby girl is home. She’s home.” As part of their investigation, police are talking to retired detectives who handled the case years ago. Because she was so young when she was kidnapped, it’s impossible for Nance to know if she has lived with the same family the entire time, reports the AP.
^ I read that article and watched some of the interviews. Apparently later reports tell that the daughter is not as altruistic as she initially appeared and is unhappy with the biological parents because they spent all of the money given to the parents as part of the legal settlement from the hospital. There was some money earmarked for the daughter, but it was released to the parents when she turned 21. You’d think she’d be happy to be reunited as opposed to hankering after the money
Like most of the people in this thread, I resemble my parents and siblings, so it's unlikely I was adopted. It'd be awesome if I was though, I'd have a loving family and my parents would have given an orphan a home. Adoption is awesome.
i have no urge to find out who really my parent are cuz i know that we are all off springs of Adam (AS). there was a possibility that the people who serves as are parents, we could be their parents. so its really not about blood relation cuz in front of ALLAH SWT its all about Iman and Taqwa. and on the day of judgment we will also be questioned for our behavior and attitude with people who were given the duty of our parents/children.
ps. I am happy with what i have Alhumdullah. after all Musa AS and Shedad were also two prominent people in the history who were not raised by their biological parents.
