I do believe it is wrong to lie to children about who their biological parents are. She deserves to know the truth and she should have already been told. But it is not your place to tell her.

My oldest is adopted and we were always totally honest with her. I personally think its important. A lot of people use donor eggs and sperm these days and don’t see the need to tell their children. I think that’s wrong, but definitely not my place to say anything

They will both tell her when they feel the time is right. That is their decision to make, not yours. You have no right to decide how your friends parent their children. If you’re concerned at the impact the truth may have further down the line and they are good friends with you then you could chat with mum asking if they’re going to tell her as it could be pretty de estate going to find out who you thought was biological wasn’t and see what she says. Be reasonable and neutral in your reasoning why waiting so long could hurt the child more the older she gets, you’re planting the seed. But you never say anything to the child. If your friends want to wait, you have to respect that. They maybe happily going along, times flying by and they’ve not really thought about it and nay appreciate you bringing it up and gives them something to think about. You’re their friend and the child’s friend. You just need to be their go support their decision

Definitely not i was 18 when i got told my dad not my dad and that broke me for long time

Not your job to tell her. It’s up to her mother to be the one to tell her if she wants her to know.

That is not at all your place to say anything. That is something for them to do and I’m sure sure will the time is right

The child in question may b 2 young 2 undertanad it also Prob won’t b able to process it
Was adopted always told truth
Prob was in care told but to young
When I got teenage years I got told bit by bit why tuk of parents but every time I always went down hill (mum might be doing this so this don’t happen atm)

NOT YOUR PLACE AT ALL IT WILL FUCK CHILD HEAD UP

Maybe talk to the parents of u concern on the impact n mental health n welbein of child wen find out

Yikes!! Mind yo MF BUSINESS…Dayummmm😒

No way!!! That is not your place to tell her. There might be a very valid reason that the family are wanting to keep that from her at this time.
Blood does not make a family. It is made from love.
You are talking about ruining a young girls life, not something to be proud of. Leave well enough alone. You don’t know what the reasoning is behind it all is but it must be strong so keep your mouth shut and stop spreading gossip and let that family be at peace.

If she wants to tell her daughter that’s for her to do in her time on her time…family isn’t always blood…unless her daughter is your family and u want her daughter to know that …even then u need to talk to her mother first…at some point all kids should know who their blood family is…for many reasons… But that’s for her parents to tell her about

No, not your business.

You don’t decide who someone’s family is… blood doesn’t make family… tons of blood that doesn’t come around but my mom built me a family out of our community… you aren’t a friend as you sit there a judge her family and want to traumatize her child by telling her.

Your friend needs better friends let her or him know.

Mind your business.
I’ve seen this go both ways and either way it’s tragic for the child. Especially in circumstances when people wait until they are 16 or older and they’ve spent their entire lives believing one thing.
They feel lied to and betrayed, every time. Even if the family meant well and tells them when they are old enough to understand

And you don’t want to be the “bearer of bad news” so keep out of it.

It’s definitely not up for you to decide. Unless wanna ruin a relationship, tear a family apart, and become a terrible person in general go right the fuck ahead. What say do you have breaking that sensitive information to your friend’s child, none. My daughter is being raise by another man and it’s better that way. She doesn’t need to know till we decide. My daughter loves my partner and doesn’t need the stress of knowing how terrible her bio dad is. Don’t you think it would hurt a child to know why their biological parent isn’t in their life? Specially, if the reason is the parent doesn’t want to be there.

Not your place. Not your place. Not your place. Not your place.

Family isn’t defined by who is biologically related. Sometimes people who aren’t related treat you better. If they support her and she feels they are family, be happy for that child.

13 is honestly not a good age. Should of been done a few years earlier, or a few years from now. At 13 girls are going thru so much with there bodies changing, hormones and emotions, it should wait. She could find out and spiral and rebel. She doesn’t need her life torn right now. I don’t fully understand what the situation is so I’m in no place too judge.

She should be told the truth.

Better to pull the bandaid off now while she is still young.

We let our daughter know she was adopted at the age she understood. We always let her know we loved her and she acceped it. We were always mom and dad to her.

That’s not anyone’s place but the ones raising them. Stay out of it.

You need to MYOB. If she has been with them for a good bit they know her better than anyone. The early teen years are not easy, they are not “kids” anymore but in the long run they are not mentally and emotionally prepared for a lot of things. Sme kids who are adopted at birth grow up knowing the facts and they are fine with it. Let her family make that decision. This is not a question you should be asking.
.

13yrs is a critical age…it is important that she is surrounded with love and belonging from everyone if and when to be told …most of all needs complete honesty of all truth and not be alienated from knowing the real family esp if she wishes to seek who they are. From my experience being told something like that and not being allowed any other information, or being alienated can bring a sense of not knowing who you are etc…my advice before saying anything be prepared to answer all questions.

It’s none of ur business.

My daughters best friend found out she was adopted by some “friend “ of the family at 12 and it f’ed her up! She went pretty off the deep end for awhile. Do not confuse and hurt that child! Stay in your own lane and leave that child alone!

Stay out of it. She has a mother. And why would you say it’s not her family. I have people in my family that are not biological related to me but I still think of them as family

I see the many responses on here saying that love makes a family and that she doesn’t need to know. As someone who is currently going through this, please, please, PLEASE somebody tell her the truth. I was beyond devastated to learn that the people I loved had spent my entire life lying to me. Finding out at age 30 has all but destroyed my faith in others and in myself. I’m sure there will be too many people on here thinking or posting that I am wrong. If you haven’t been through this, please don’t respond to my opinion. I would have given anything to have been told who I was when my father was still alive. I truly believe this would have changed my entire life. The betrayal I feel will probably never go away, and no, being lied to longer would not have made this better, only worse. At the very least when the girl is able to understand, present a similar situation to her and ask if she thinks the child has a right to know (what my mom finally did). If she says yes, please please tell her the truth. Everyone has a right to know who they are
