Is she even curious about her origins?
As an adoptee...I would have loved to have known that my bmom wanted to find me and tell me from where i came from. I hated not being able to tell people of what ethnic background i was.
What are the chances she wants to meet her birth family?
I can only speak for myself but when I met my first BLOOD Relative (besides my son) it was HUGE...I have met some others this past yeat and it is wonderful. I think as long as you do it with an open heart and work out a pace that feels comfortable for both of you it will work out.
At 18, is she even old enough to deal with the emotional aspect of a reunion? I waited a long time out of respect for my adoptive parents...but I always wanted my bmom to look for me (she didn't)
Is there ever a “right time” to make contact? I would wait until after graduation and prom...this is a huge time for her. summer might be good cause in a lot of cases for kids that age there aren't tooo many distractions.
How do most adoptive parents feel about reunions? My adoptive parents don't know..yikes I'm 43 and still intimidated
Good luck with everything and keep us posted
