I think as other people recieve rejection, we as Adoptees recieve it alittle differently and are quite sensitive to it. I'm not trying to undermine anyone else's feelings saying that Adoptees feel rejection stronger then anyone else but I think we do already have that "1st Rejection" in the back of our minds. I recently found my Birthmother on a website and I wrote her 2 messages with no response from her. I feel that rejection all over again. At the same time, I realize how hard it has to be for her to have given birth to a child and have to give it up to a stranger to raise. I'm not sure but I bet some Birthmothers "TRY" to forget and move on with their lives. I would give them more time. They definitely have to let it sink in and let them think about it. As long as they know where to reach you if they ever do decide to contact you. I, myself have become more at peace with searching for my Biological mother. I know she has the tools to get in touch with me and I feel if she decides not to make contact, she's missing out on a great potential friendship. Her lose. I hope you find peace with your situation and I hope this has helped you. Angelique
