That is not uncommon. I know a few people who either discovered or were finally told they were adopted as adults. One was told she had a different father than her three siblings when her 84 year old mother had a nervous breakdown and spilled the beans. Another was told by her father who thought he was on his deathbed that he was not her biological father, that her mother had been pregnant by another man when they married. Historically in America about one in ten is not fathered by their mother's husband as in the cases I just noted. Surprise! Surprise!
