I would proceed with caution, just because 18 is young. The daughter I gave up at birth found me on the internet at age 14. We've had a roller coaster of a 5 years since.
Partly I am so thankful to have not had to wait to know her a little bit. We've had some incredible moments by email and phone.
On the downside, she has had a hard time emotionally handling all of it. This translates into long periods of silence and sometimes very painful conversations. And though I always try and put her feelings and needs first, I will tell you that is has been very hard on me.
I wish you very good luck. Every story and relationship is different.
