I think age, especially with sons anyway, is an important factor in reunions. Many times I have spoken to other birthmoms and we have discussed how hard it is to talk, on an emotional level, with young men who are between 18 and 30. Thirty seems to be the age of reckoning - perhaps when they are becoming fathers to their own children - or not living at home any more.
As somone who didn't search - and was found, I think it must take enormous courage to confront your need and then see it through.
Good question Scarlet - and to your question re other thoughts?? Is it easier to connect to your birthfamily if there are siblings involved?
