The last I know of some muslim adoptions.
Is that properties and assets cannot be passed down to adopted
children.
Can TS clarify that he and twins sister is brought up in Muslim
household, or another religion household?
It is not uncommon for even adopted children to look like their
adoptive parents. Unless its a matter of different race.
But there is always the connections, that even children will
receive the legacy of their adoptive parents mannerism, morals,
values, ethics and even responses.
I would say, chill down, talk to the parents to tell them you
know and assure them that you still value their love and devotion
to yourself and your sister. And urge them to sit down your
sister with you, to tell you both the truth.
And prepare yourself to comfort your sister if she becomes as
shocked and confused as you are.
Its always better to be asking for your parents medical history
and prepare yourself for the future.
Looking back into the past, should never impede your
future. If you let it becomes so, then its a matter of merely
looking for excuses for bad behaviour.
Quoted from TS : yup, she was the one who brought my attention
to it. I am fortunate enought that i am not alone in this.
Her sister knows it already and is the one who told her.
And a VERY important thing to note here :
http://www.islam101.com/sociology/inheritance.htm
Quoted : It should be noted
that only relatives with a legitimate blood relationship to the
deceased are entitled to inherit from the deceased under Islamic
law. Thus, illegitimate children according to Islamic law and
adopted children have no part in inheritance. Incidentally legal adoption
as practised in the west is forbidden in
Islam.
TS, odds are you are a malaysian, as you said you live in JB and
your parents went over to SG for a while. Did you know that if the
whole thing blows up you could get your parents into trouble with
the religious court?
