Lost,
Your aparents either know your birthfamily had drug problems in the past or that's just their excuse for not wanting to give you the information. Obviously someone loved you enough to have photos done at 12months, because that's not cheap.
I'm guessing your aparents are thinking in the back of their minds that if you meet your birthfamily, they will try to hustle you. Don't ask me why some aparents are like that, they just are. Mine are. (They think everyone is trying to hustle them)
The bottom line is that YOU ARE 30 YEARS OLD. If you feel this is the right time to search, then you deserve the right to know. Especially for health reasons. I searched only to find that my birthmother had died a year earlier and she had
many health problems. Run that by your aparents, maybe they'll wake up and realize it's not just about them and what they want.
Good luck, keep us updated.
Jennie
