Of course everyone is different, so I can't answer for her. But here is how I felt.

Is she even curious about her origins?

YES! I was so curious even though I never really expressed it. I thought about my origins a lot.

What are the chances she wants to meet her birth family?

I always knew I wanted to meet mine. The question in my mind was always 'when,' not 'if.'

At 18, is she even old enough to deal with the emotional aspect of a reunion?

I'm not even 18 and I feel that I am handling things just fine. My adoptive parents aren't doing as well and they are in their 50s. So is age even an indicator?

Is there ever a “right time” to make contact?

I doubt that the rightness in time will change much, if at all.

How do most adoptive parents feel about reunions?

Mine have a lot of insecurities. That is the hardest part.
