Hi Louise,
I think we ALL have a major sense of rejection...but if we don't take the chance then we risk having that void for the rest of our lives...at least rejection is a response.
Even the letter writing, as I said, can be therepeutic. But I agree that privacy is important. Fortuneately I know that my bdad's whole family knows about me...I was around for at least 2 years as a baby.
Thanks for popping on to give us the reality check,
