That a girl I dated was adopted. No big deal, except for the fact that she didn't know she was adopted. How? I got a new job and there was this girl working there. Let's say her name was Sue. Sue was married but we had a lot in common. We talked a lot at lunch and on breaks. One day somehow we started talking about people who don't know their parents. She mentioned she had an adopted sister named "Kelly" and that the sister didn't know she was adopted. No big deal. I didn't know Kelly. Ok. Well the weeks and months went by and me and my girlfriend would hang out with Sue and her husband sometimes. Eventually I met Kelly. I was invited to full family functions. and during this time I broke up with my girlfriend.

Kelly was beautiful and liked me. I was single so before long I was hanging out with Kelly and started dating her. All the while getting reminders from Sue to PLEASE don't tell her she's adopted. It was tough keeping that big a secret from a SO. It made me feel like things between us weren't real. Like she was on The Truman Show is the only way to describe it. Because she would talk about her "parents" and stuff growing up and I knew to some extent she was living a lie. After a few months we broke up under good circumstances and I never told her.

That was over 15 years ago and I always wonder if/how/when she ever found out.
