I'm an adoptee looking for her bmom who just started about a year ago. It took me this long to start because I always worried I would disrupt people's lives if they didn't know. I still worry about that but have decided to take that chance and let her decide if I ever find her.
On the other hand my amom gave up her daughter because she was only 16 at the time. Of course this was in the mid to late 50's and was forced to give her up. She did admit she tried to get an abortion but it didn't work. She only told my brother (who is her biological child) and me(whose adopted) about 4 years ago and we are now 32 years old. We took it great. I was glad to have an older sister. My brother was too. We felt bad for her because it has caused a lot of pain in her life. Our dad had known the whole time. She is in touch with her daughter and has been for many years. She always knew where she was but the daughter contacted her first. I also have sent xmas cards to her and her girls. My brother and I hope to meet her someday. My amom is a lot better now that we know and I'm glad your reunion has also worked out. I think it is easier on older children because they understand things can happen. Take care and enjoy your family!!
