I am an adoptee born in 1974. My parents are supportive of my decision to persue my birthmother, having provided information relative to the search. In December 2005, a friend placed her child in an open adoption. Supporting her led to understand that my birth mother deserves to be thanked for giving me life. I also want to assure her that I have had a wonderful life. Your parents may be very concerned about the outcome of your search in that your birthmother may not take well to the thought of a reunion. My parents expressed concern that I may not get what I hoped for. It may be just be their own personal feelings surfacing. I volunteer at an adoption agency in the Buffalo area. I have several adopted friends in your situation or have been through it. Please let me know if I can help.
