Is Maeby adopted?

Is Maeby adopted? - A Happy Foster Family Playing Scrabble

In season one episode 12 - "Martha Complex" - Tobias mentions that he and Lindsay were unable to conceive, yet they have a daughter - Maeby. Since Tobias and Lindsay were apparently unable to conceive, does this mean that Maeby is adopted?



Best Answer

All is revealed in the next episode, "Beef Consommé". George Michael wonders about Maeby's paternity, and is told by Lucille that the family spent $130,000 in fertility treatments that eventually enabled Lindsay to conceive Maeby.

Were Maeby and George related?

Maeby is the on-and-off object of her cousin George Michael's affection and the two briefly experiment with incestuous behaviors. Maeby is also strongly attracted to Steve Holt, who, unfortunately, is also her cousin.

Are Maeby and George Michael still married?

I remember the deleted scenes showing George Michael hiding the marriage certificate in his sock drawer after Maeby asked him to rip it up (though that may not be cannon). Until they say otherwise, they're still technically married.

Is Lindsay adopted?

Lindsay was adopted at the age of 3 and was raised believing she was Michael's twin sister. She was almost adopted by Stan Sitwell, but Lucille and George adopted her first "just to stick it to a competitor." Being the only daughter, Lucille was extremely critical of Lindsay's appearance.
