Fearful

I share many of your thoughts. I too am in a succesful reunion and feel lucky that the timing was right. I think many posting here after reunion are those with problems as those with good reunions do not need that much support so don't come here. So those searching have a very skewed impression. I come here to read and learn as I am very interested in the dynamics of search and reunion. In countries that have opened records for those seeking, and have had 10 plus years experience, there are organized groups in those countries that provide counseling. Here in the US - everthing is so scattered, each state has its own set of laws, limited resources and poor training for those performing the CI job. It is important for those searching to read and learn as much as possible about adoption and what might happen in reunion. The best advice I can give is be patient, and go slowly even though every cell in your body tells you to race.
