Sounds like it might be I Know My First Name Is Steven, a Made-for-TV Movie based on the true story of Steven Stayner.

Movie, probably from the 1980's. A boy who becomes 18, his parents, he knows he is adopted, he gets an expensive watch, he starts travelling through America, he finds a family where he eats with them and there's a strange feeling that they know each other. There are flashbacks, the boy as kidnapped when he was two years old. I don't know the ending.
