First of all, <<Hugs>>. You sound like a very caring and sensitive person.

Check out adoption reunion in amazon. There is a reunion handbook that I read after reunion and I also liked an old book called Birthbond. Since your sister was born in 1960, you might read "The Girls that went away" about girls who were in unwed mothers homes before 1973. It doesn't talk about reunion but it does show what it was like during that time. I'm an adult adoptee and wept when I read it after I first talked with my bmom.

2 years ago, an adopted friend found her bmom and sister when her bmom was very sick - died soon afterward. Although she was not able to have any relationship with her bmom, she did have her questions answered. But she has an ongoing and close relationship with her sister, even though they live in different towns. It has been a blessing to both of them. I hope this is what you and your sister find.
