I'm an adoptee who has also used the internet to learn more about my birthmother and her family. I'm glad to see most of the bmom's here would not be insulted or angered by that. It's been a cool way to feel a bit more connected to them, without creating an intrusion.

I have a MS page, and it's private. While I understand the weird feeling mentioned by a strange (to the child) adult looking at a teen's page, I have no issues when it's adults involved. Of course, those are just my feelings and in no way to I claim I'm right, just how I feel. Then again, I rarely look at any of my student's pages who I'm "friends" with on MS. It just seems like an invasion even though I've been invited. It's the whole age difference an all. I do understand a bparent's curiosity, and don't know if in your shoes I could resist either.

I'm also careful what I write here. It would be my luck my bmom is also on here, and if we ever reunite, she'd look up everything I said and be offended by most of it. I try to remember who may be looking at this, even though I'm sure I've stumbled plenty.
