should i tell my parents that i found out we are not related?

Talk to the parents who raised you about why they never told you in the 1s place. You should ask them about your real parents before contacting your real parents.

Whether they're blood-related or not, they're the ones who raised you as their own... I agree with asking about your real parents first just to be safe.

depends on how old you are.....and maybe your birth parents do not wish to be contacted....maybe you were not givin up by them...maybe the state took you away from them .....and maybe your not related parents saved your life when they adopted you.....and....you say they were abusive.....well untill i know what your defintion of abusive is i wont comnent on that...( lots of kids who feel their childhood was less than perfect often claim abuse.)..but i will say tread lightly....there are a lot of hearts involved here that can get broken beyond repair, your own included.

I think you should TELL your parents what you're doing but I think it's important for you to know your real parents!

I definitely think it's important to sit down with the parents you grew up with and tell them what's going on. I think it's important to know where you come from and who your biological family is
