Grandpa (83) Discovers Old Family Photo - When He Looks Closer He Gets the Fright of His Life!

Ойын-сауық

This 83-year-old man got the fright of his life last week while cleaning out the attic. He found a half-decayed box filled with photos. All were photos from when he himself was a little kid, but one of the photo’s was different. He saw his father, mother and also himself as a little baby. But who was the little girl next to him in the photo?

I did it in a very careful way however they refused to have anything to do with me. Even my siblings I grew up with largely cut me off when the secret came out. I find I can cope quite well - and am amazed at my bio fathers family and history. p.s. Yes, I did talk to him before he died but never actually met him.

  • @beccabbea2511

    Why the lies? Because society was cruel back then and society would condemned people, neighbours gossiped, cruel gossip and added to it to make themselves feel important. There was poverty and shame, there was unkindness and misunderstanding. There was condemnation and cruelty. If one member of a family was shamed then that shame was reflected on the whole of the family and they would often be shunned. I've done a lot of family history and when indexing one set of records, in particular, I notice how unforgiving the priest (supposedly a man of God) was, and lazy. He had recorded thirty three births on two pages. Most of the births were just the child's name, date of birth and father, the bare minimal. Three had 'bastard child,' their date of birth and both the parent's names. I imagine it was so that he could shame them. Yet nearly two hundred years later they were the only children whose mother I could record. I like to think they had the last laugh. There are secrets in my family and unfortunately for the children they will remain just that, secrets.

But parents told their children they love them anyway. Adoption is not a crime so you don't keep it a secret. Secrets are signs of a dysfunctional family. Many adoptive parents thought the truth would hurt the child. But the truth is the lies hurt the child.

    The discarded. We found family members in old photos and asked about them. They got in trouble, they were slightly retarded, or had a deformation of some sort. They had a baby out of wedlock They were never seen again in family photos again. They were never mentioned again. They were "removed" from the family. I have hope for genetic testing. We don't "discard" people anymore, not beginning this generation. My father specifically mentioned....regularly....that if I displeased him, I would be discarded. When I actually saw how MANY people they did this to, my blood ran cold. "Extra" female children were also discarded; but in the time I was born, that was not as easy. Did not prevent him from telling me that. I am horrified; and even more bent on meeting those other "discards." Found an unknown half brother on my own. Yes, we grew up within 5 miles of each other. This stuff has got to stop.

    I completely agree! We face bad situations every day. We can't just hide them! In trying to 'protect' one person, or whatever, someone else gets hurt! I found out I had an older sister. This was kept secret because she was born out of wedlock. Then, there's the fact that I am the only blonde in my family! It has made me feel like there were more secrets! If my parents are so ashamed that they kept secrets, it doesn't say a lot about them. I learned enough about them seeing how they lived their lives. I couldn't deal with any more!

    @@suruha2306 I have a feeling lately that there is more of this than we know. Remember, tho, that sometimes, due to the way DNA works, you may hark back to a past generation. (I looked, when young a lot like my maternal grandmother, but not unlike my parents.) It happens more amazingly in cases of mixed-race parentage in a person’s line. However, if old family photos reveal no one similar, you might begin to look into it. Caution is always wise, though, since you need to be prepared for possible difficult truths, and the reaction of both your family and another one to such a search and its discoveries. Some turn out very well, but step carefully. Wishing you well in every way.

Thankfully his sister was adopted into the family as his cousin. however, it has happened, children (one or more adopted) and the other never knowing about it...they met in college and fell in love. I don't care what state or country you live in, there's always a chance they'll meet and they may feel a bond, not knowing it's because they're siblings, instead being drawn to each other in love. Cruel to then tell them oops you're siblings.

    It was common in years past to not tell children they were adopted. It was to keep everyone from thinking the child came from a 'shameful' past (unwed mother or murderer father or such), and ostracizing the child for his parent's sins. It was also common if a child died young to never speak of her/him again, and never tell the other children. It was an attempt to not bring up heartaches that would make the mother or siblings grieve. I know my father had a brother who died in a hunting accident at about 12 yrs old. The whole large family never spoke of him (except perhaps between just one or two of them alone) and most people don't even know he existed. When counting the children my grandmother had they don't include this brother nor another little one who died within a week of his birth. I expected when I first clicked on this post that this would be the case. I was close, but still off on the wrong road!

    Oh, could you drag this out any more??? He stopped the car, he locked it with a key. He walked slowly up the path.... OMG, just get on with it!! What he saw in the old photo was his sister Olga who had been adopted along with him, but was now known as his "cousin" Claudia. There, that saved you 20 minutes you'll never get back.

    What a dirty thing to do to a couple of children! Bad things happen to people every single day. Believing one could erase it all with secrets is wrong! I found out I had a sister late in life. It still upsets me. That wasn't the only lie. I never looked because I didn't want to know what other secrets I would find. As of my father's passing, mom passed first, I wrote off the history of my family. I've had a hard enough life without dragging up their lies. Sorry, but I lived it and it wasn't worth anything to me!

We both now know about the adoption ~ several years ago, my sis found (the) signed legal documents while rummaging through a closet.

    2 minutes in & I'm thinking "If he was an only child, how could he have a NIECE a couple years older than him? For her to be his niece, she'd have to be the child of a much older sibling. Is he just using the term niece even though she's really a cousin? [My family has a situation where there's 2 girls that have nieces & nephews only slightly older or younger than themselves. My aunt had 3 kids, the oldest 2 girls while in her mid & late teens, & then at like 23 had a son. Got divorced some years after that. Then several years later she married again, & although eldest daughter had already started giving her grandkids, aunt & hubby #2 had 2 more kids themselves while daughters #1, #2 & then son also provided more grandkids. So in the middle of this group of kids, 2 of them are actually aunts to all the others, not cousins.]

    Growing up, my father's best friend was his cousin Ramon. They would stay at their Grandmother's during the Summer. Later, we lived two doors away and Ramon's wife babysat me and my twin brother and I when we were born. A few years after that, Ramon opened a newspaper distribution center on his own and made a lot of money. It was after the two had passed we learned they were cousins but from different branches of the family. My handicapped grand uncle gave up his son to a couple in the family that couldn't have kids. When I visit that far western suburb, I like to point out Ramon's building. The newspaper left the building years ago.

    I guess they thought they were doing the right thing by separating them, but I think it was cruel. The children needed time to adjust to the reality of life without their parents. They would have had each other, but the adults in charge dealt them a second tragic blow by removing them from each other's lives. I can't help but wonder if the adoptive parents just decided they wanted to raise the son and gave the daughter to the other relatives. And what was the point in keeping them separated for five years? Because they didn't want them to remember each other? Heartbreaking.
