A:
I'm really sorry you're going through this difficult time. Discovering such significant information about your parents can be incredibly distressing and overwhelming.
In California, suing your biological parents for not disclosing information about your real parents is legally complex. The courts generally protect parents from legal actions based solely on non-disclosure of personal information, especially if there was no malintent or harm intended. Emotional distress claims might be challenging to prove in this context.
It might help to reach out to a legal professional who can provide guidance based on the specifics of your situation. Additionally, seeking support from a counselor or support group can offer you the emotional assistance you need during this tough period.
