    I guess for inheritance reasons, it would make sense to correct my birth certificate to my biological parents. In that sense, I would feel happy, because I’d have a massive inheritance coming my way at some point. Other than that though, it wouldn’t make any difference to me, I’d still feel like the parents I grew up with were the “real” ones.

      Is that even how inheritance works? Wouldn’t they almost certainly have a will that doesn’t mention you?

        How inheritance works depends on the country. In my country (Germany), there is a mandatory portion of your wealth that each child will get as inheritance, no matter what the will says. Fully disinheriting your own children is only possible under some very narrow circumstances, such as the child being convicted with a felony serving more than a year of prison time.
