Can someone help me idk what I did wrong.

I recently turned 16(F), and my entire life I’ve lived with my adoptive family. There’s my Dad(52), Mom(49), And two brothers Teddie (23) and Jamison (32). I was adopted around 5-6 months old? I first started realizing that something was different about me compared to everyone else in my family when I was maybe 12. My family is white, brown and blonde hair with light hazel eyes while I was Asian, black hair, and dark eyes. I think they only told me because it got to the point where they felt like I knew that I was different: the reason I think this is because my name is “Yejin” it’s like that on every legal document and it’s always been that way but my English name is Jen, no one else in my family had to have different names so, that’s originally also where my own doubt came in from.

After they told me I didn’t feel any less like family but, this is really when I started to feel bad. Once they told me I tried to really leave it alone but I couldn’t. I kept asking questions about it casually like at dinner bringing up small things like asking if they knew my bio parent/ moms names to which they responded no.

The next week we were all at dinner my brothers included, this was nice because ever since they left I’ve been missing them but, when they arrived and we all sat down no one was really talking like they used to the air felt thick so, I began to test the waters I looked up from my plate and just barely muttered something about if I could ever meet my birth mom. After I said this my mom just looked distraught and my dad got angry and sent me to my room; I cried like a baby. My dads never gotten angry at me before but the look on my moms face was comparably worse than getting sent upstairs she looked sad it hurts because I really don’t know what I did wrong. Jamison told me it was disrespectful to ask that and that I needed to “stop being caught up on it and get over my birth mom because she didn’t want me.” And Teddie still hasn’t spoke to me.

What did I do wrong?
