As an adoptee who hasn't found my birth parents, it's wonderful to hear about your love for the daughter you gave up for adoption.

When I was 18, my curiosity started setting in at full speed. Although I felt this way, I don't think I could have handled finding my birth family at that point in time. The biggest reason is that I would have been terrified of betraying my mother (adoptive mother). It is so hard having the most wonderful mother you could imagine but still feeling restless and like a piece of you is just invisible.

It has taken me as an adult, 29 years of age, to really accept and understand my feelings. I think when she is ready you will know.

Good Luck!!!
