B&B spoilers reveal that fans just found out about Finn’s parents. It was never brought up on the CBS soap. However, viewers assumed that Finn had talked about his family with Steffy. Apparently, he didn’t give her too much information, which is surprising. It was initially believed that Finn’s parents might be dead or maybe they weren’t on speaking terms. There was even the theory that Finn just wasn’t that close with his mom and dad. However, it turns out that’s not true at all.

Finn had a great childhood and received a lot of love from his adoptive parents. He is close to both of them, but especially Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda).

He considers them to be his real parents. At the same time, he craves a genetic link to someone. Every patient he sees, Finn might wonder if they are related. Finn might want to know his biological family, but some adoptees worry that they will be betraying the parents that raised them by doing so. It’s possible that Finn carries some of these issues.
