Are you sure your husband isn't mine? lol! My husband is 41 and also has a closed adoption. The only thing he knows is about his birth mom is that she was 22, Jewish and single.
He doesn't really have a major desire to seek her out though. He is more curious about siblings. But he does have some recurrent medical issues (high blood pressure, kidney stones, allergies) where it would be beneficial to know his medical history.
Our daughter is adopted though domestic infant open adoption. Right now she is only 20 months old. But he struggles sometimes with the communication we have with her birth family. Personally, if it was up to him, he would like to close the adoption. But that opens up a whole other can of worms.
But all in all, I am happy that my daughter will be able to relate to her father. After all, only an adoptee really knows what it's like to be adopted.
Best of luck!
