half adoptee point of view here.....
honestly in college i don't think that i was one bit curious about my biodad. i do know that i had a lot of respect for my mother at that time because she had me at 17 and i was around that age and couldn't imagine having a baby to take care of. i thought more about my biodad when i was an adolescent (started wondering around age 12) and in high school (at that stage i was angry about it)...college was too busy with frat parties, dorm room drama, classes and boyfriends. once i graduated college and established a career (same career as my mother i might add) i had tried to put those questions to the back of my mind, but they did pop in occasionally. it really wasn't until i moved 3000 miles away from my family and went back to school and started a second career that i was constantly thinking about my adoption and my biodad and his family. i think the physical seperation from my mother and my family forced me to look inside myself and find out who i really was. i don't think i had the capacity or understanding for myself to do that while in college.
