Hi Line9,
Abortion was illegal in all 50 states until Roe vs. Wade, which happened the year after I was born - in 1972. I've heard that it was somewhat possible (although completely dangerous, illegal, and unlikely) to get a "back-alley" abortion before that.
I don't think you should even bother yourself with the idea of whether an abortion would have been available for your birthmom. Fact is, she didn't have one, she gave birth to you.
It is kinda strange that she would say, "Your search is over", if she's not your birthmom.
In any case, have her send you the picture of herself and your birthfather!!! That might answer some questions for you right there. If you don't look like either of them, that lets you know she could be telling you the truth. If you look like your birthfather, well, that's just exciting! But it doesn't tell you who your birthmother is. Or, you could look just like this woman who says she's not your birthmother - and that would be a clear answer, no? I found a picture of my birthmother online (even though she never answered my letter) and I look just like her!! She can't deny me, for sure.
Good luck!
