7. I get that, probably wouldn't do it if I weren't adopted.

But it is tempting, there's always a scandal. My birth mother was told her father was a different person. My sister (also adopted) had this really bad father (rest of the bio family on both sides are wonderful), my ex-wife had a half brother after her parents divorced who was adopted out, DNA shows the ex husband was the father. My current wife's grandfather was a foundling. My adopted mother has a normal and boring family tree that is exactly what I expected, so there are exceptions.
