[[The Reveal]] that his parents are not his real parents after years of [[Oblivious Adoption]]. This is when after a long time, the adoptive parents finally tell him.
Don't confuse with [[I Have No Son]] or [[That Thing Is Not My Child]], nor a subversion of [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]. Contrast with [[You're Not My Father]], which is not a Reveal but a dismissal.
Not to be confused with [[I Am Not My Father]].
