Do you have your birth certificate? If not, you can buy one from the Register Office where your birth was registered or you can order one from https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Didn't you ever ask your parents whether you were adopted? Would it be a relief to know that you are not genetically linked to your siblings?

sounds like my sister but turns out i really was adopted only found out at 23 though. Dislike my sister very much and wont talk to her but love my parents like others said they chose me. My birth certificate doesnt say adopted but i was born in south africa so may be different there

i would try and get your birth certificate so you can find out for definite one way or the other.

either way I think your sister is very cruel and your family are probably not going to give you any answers.

Counselling may be of benefit to you so that you can talk openly about how you feel

Doesn't the date on the short birth certificate often give it away (presuming you weren't adopted as a newborn) dh says his would have given it away as his 'birth' was registered a) in Northern Ireland with place of birth in Wales and b) was 9 years after he was born when you look at the date at the bottom

It Depends on whether or not the shortened Cert is the original or not,if its a copy the date on the bottom will simply be the date that the copy was done.

The only way is for the OP to request a copy of her Full birth cert.
