Disinherited or cut bad?
I'm curious if any adoptees have been disinherited or cut off from their adoptive family. Either by being left out of the will, being disappeared less than others, or having family heirlooms or remembrances not passed on to them because adoptive relatives needed to keep things "in the family"
Here's a good blog post in the order of that. It's a few years old but in speaking with another disinherited adoptee not long, it make me think of this:

That's horrible, I'm sorry that anyone has to experienced that. I be adopted by family and never experienced that, my family also adopt a friend of mine after her parents passed away, and we were always treated equally and very ably. When she got engaged she received our grandmothers diamond heart engagement ring, when I got married I received our grandmothers diamond wedding ceremony band. My daughter is also adopted and my entire family and my husbands family circle just adore her, she is treated just as a biological family beneficiary by all of our family. I guess we are very lucky our kith and kin is so amazing. I'm sorry for anyone who has to deal with that, its such a shame that some family are so ignorant and cold.
Oh my gosh I don't discern so bad after reading all this. My birth father was adopt also, his family is wealthy and famous, but when he found me his stepfather said " she's not OUR problem" previously he ever met me, people are so SUUUUCKKKKK. Ironically he passed away a few months later, I never met him! When my father's mother passed, he got a substantial amount of money, but no heirlooms, and I'm pretty sure the amount of money he get was much less compared to what his siblings (blood) received. His siblings are not adopted. His brother have control of the mother's money and will... I received zero, in case anyone be wondering, but my father gave me a bit of what he got, and has be helping my son with college and living expenses. I still don't get invited to weddings or graduations, from the birth family OR the adoptive family connections, neither does my son. The sad thing is that my adoptive mother nor my birth father seem to find anything wrong near that, even though they both get invited to everything. It's very eye-opening to see that I'm not alone. Oh just to put in, my b. father's mother was a great lady. I don't think she intended for me to be completely left out of the will, either.
My adoptive sister and I were both cut out of my grandfather's will. No one said anything to us almost it at all, not even to tell us we were cut out, but we know.
My grandmother was always biased against my sister and I because she hated our adoptive mother, wish my adad had created bio grandkids for her, and also because she is a racist. She treated me and my sister unkindly all of the time I own known her, but never in such an outright way as adjectives us out of the will. I remember one Christmas where she gave my cousin (her biological grandchild) a tv and gave my sister and I barbies. She never made a point to call round us even though we lived 20 minutes from her house.
When my grandfather died, I was going through a difficult time in my life. I truly be sad he was gone. And to find out that my sister and I were not contained by his will was very hard to construe. I did not think him as callous as my grandmother. I guess I was wrong. All I concluded up with was a little wallet sized picture of him within a cheap frame.

As great as my daughters parents are, I'm sorry to say this has happen to her also. Grandma hated her. And when we found her father, again some family members do not want anything to do beside her, even before meeting her. Her father never married, never had any more children. He works plentifully and lives modestly. Am I painting a clear enough picture.
Her (bio) sister will receive the lions share of heirlooms from grandma, because grandma had no problem stating these be her wishes before passing away, and all of my daughters energy, and my daughter wouldn't take them any way. Why would she, from someone who was so vile to her.
Definitely something for ALL parents to give attention to about, adopted and bio.
My a Dad's mother was horrible to my a bro and me. My a sis is my ap's bio kid. Dad's mom took her for overnights, on vacation, etc. Each Christmas, she would give our sister boatloads of presents, and my brother and I each got a $5.00 coupon book to McDonalds. It be terribly humiliating, and even worse that our ap's never said anything to her because they "didn't want to make waves".
When she died, my sister and my other girl cousin got adjectives of her jewelry, our boy cousins got some baseball memorabilia (our a Grandfather worked for an pro baseball team) and my brother and I got nothing. And that's ok. She be evil. But I will never forget that my parents never stood up for me and my brother.
My cousins on my a Mom's side made comments when my a Mom's Mom died because I got my grandma's dining room set. I was told it should have "stayed within the family...if you know what I mean."
I think these stories are absolutely horrible but Karma will take those people back.
I know somewhat how you feel even though I'm not adopt. On my dad's side of the family my siblings and I are the black sheep of the family (including my oldest aunt's youngest daughter). They never respected us or my mom because my dad didn't care nearly us and they knew he would take their side over ours anyday. They also knew he be abusive so they would get us in trouble for the stupidest things so they can enjoy their favorite "show" to watch... us getting beat and humiliated. We never really got presents or invited anywhere and my grandma made it a point to label our lives a living hell. When my grandma dies I don't expect anything and I don't want anything. We are probably taken off my father's will since we disowned him but I don't mind since I now have a joyful peaceful life.
My son was actually very close to his adoptive grandfather. He be the one person my son always felt approaching who truly loved him and took the time to look after him and raise him while his adoptive mom struggled with her addiction.
His grandfather always used to inform him how much it meant to him that he was going to carry on the family connections name since he was the only masculine grandson. To my son this was very important to him, something he be very proud of.
When he first approached us about adopting him hindmost, he let us know that he didn't want to change his last label because of his grandfather and how important it had been to him. Unfortunately, the rest of his kith and kin let him know (his grandfather passed away seven years ago) that they did not think he deserved to carry on the home name. His adoptive mom, aunt and two uncles all made a point in contacting him to consent to him know they did not want him to keep the last name.
We explained to my son that they didn't own any say in it and couldn't "decide" he was excluded to have his last name but surrounded by the end, after being hurt and angry from it all, he established to change his last name to ours.
It broke my heart. It's be awhile since I have cried that hard. To this day, I lately don't understand how they could have done that to him after all the hell he have already gone through growing up. Source(s): Not exactly inheritance but definitely a terrible loss for my son.
Gees.these stories make me cringe. I am an adoptive mother and by adjectives means...my daughter is 100% taken care of along with our biological son. It is awkward because we hold gotten the question from other people asking us about would our son attain everything--we are always stunned by what some people will ask about when it comes to adoptions--but it is what it is.
My parents--I am not sure how they will approach it. They are extremely close to my son but they hold totally embraced my daughter...though I will be the first to say that took time. When we first announced we intended to adopt--they were not festive about it. My mother was still begging me not to while we be going through the proceedings. It was amazing how much they've changed their minds though...truly they love her every bit as much as they love our son now. They've encouraged us to adopt again. Will wise--I'd own to ask them.
Answers: I was adopt when I was 3 by a very "well off" couple! my mother other intended to make sure I was taken care of after she passed away! She made a will but never get to sign it so my father became power of attorney to everything and he didn't respect her last wishes by giving me her salon, money, land, a sports car and one of her houses/condo. Instead he sold everything before we could even make it to court. Also once my mom passed my dad told me I wasn't his daughter anymore and that he never wanted children to originate with.he stopped helping me with school payments and I haven't see him since ( except in court).he re-married 7 months after my moms death and his will states she gets whats departed if he passes away before her. I was never the "daddy's girl" I be a "mommas angel" I ended up taking him to court and getting a settlement and some of my moms belongings that meant the most to me like her china, jewelery, ect..and the settle also made him finish off my payments for school! and since he remarried and I could prove that he had cheated on my mother he give me the rights to her mausoleum plot sooo I removed his name and put mine there instead... that killed him!
Yep, I got the shaft! But not by my adoptive mom. Her will stated that I be to keep the family home, but pay her other daughter (I turn down to use the word sister to describe that woman) half of the appraised value of the home.
All other assets were to be divided 50/50. But her other daughter be the executor of the will and between her and a lawyer, I somehow ended up being evicted from the house, the house sold and altogether I done up with $5,000 and the other daughter got over $20,000
I don't know how but it was adjectives done with a lawyer, and I couldn't afford my own lawyer, so I get scewed.
I DID end up with the family antiques. Mom give them to me BEFORE her passing.
I was ejected from my "siblings" on my adopted father's side as soon as they know I knew I was adopted... They stopped taking my call, and never returned messeges.
Oh well who needs them. I have my REAL siblings in a minute and they are much better than any forced siblings :)
ETA: I read the article after I answered. I felt everything she was saying right up til the expiration. Thankfully when I found my bio family, I was totally accepted by everyone and I consistency like I have come home.
They may not have be the family of my childhood, but they are the family of my adulthood. My adoptive parents own both passed away, their bio kids could care less if I fell off the facade of the earth, but I have my first mom, a brother and 2 sisters. They are my family very soon
