+341 You'd feel terrible if you jokingly said "Shut up. Nobody likes you. You're adopted." to somebody who turns out to actually be adopted, amirite?

But if you're adopted you were hand picked specially from a group as opposed to birth which is just what you get... You don't like that kid? Too bad, it's already out of your va jay jay and can't go back. If anything, adopted kids are loved more than biological.

That's true, but there is the fact that they were still left behind by their parents. It is also true, however, that they weren't necessarily left behind, something else might have happened, but not all adopted kids are sure of that. They might just assume the worst. Nevertheless, that statement could still be offensive to someone who is adopted.

Me and my best friend always say "well your arm is not attatchet to your body!" from some video we watched. And we always wondered what would happen if we said that to someone who had a prostetic arm or something.

back to the adoption thing, i was personally adopted and i see where all of you are coming from. It is offensive because at the time i got separated from my mom and brothers, we didn't have a choice to be taken, and my mom didn't have a choice on whether we could stay or not. so now i have to wait until i am 18 to see any of them again.

What the hell kind of an insult is that? Is that what the kids are saying these days, normally, since so many of you understand and agree?

I'd never say that to anyone in the first place...

I actually know someone who said the "you're adopted" part to someone lol. Needless to say, they felt pretty terrible.
