I also think they still believe I'm a little girl and that my biological mom is going to take me away, which is not the case.

They adopted you.. and they must have known this day would come..
I have been reading letters posted by folks who have had to deal with a reunion they have/had absolutely no control over.. the husband of an adoptee and the not relinquished daughter of a birthmom..
I see how angry some of them are.. or upset..
Your adoptive parents had some say in this.. consequences of actions and stuff like that..

I am so excited to be talking to my biological mom and to find out that I have 4 "half" sisters and one of them as a son, and I'm really comfortable and not crazy emotional like I thought I would be. The only thing that is upsetting is that my parents, even though they haven't explicitly said they don't think it is a good idea and they don't want me to have a relationship with my biological family, are upset by this and not exactly supportive.


Reunion is such a difficult life situation to navigate.. Take it slow.. Take it as slow as you can is my advice..
Give your aparents a chance to catch up maybe.. and tell them.. that you love them.. keep telling them..

Any adivce on how I can help them through this and help them understand why I would want I relationship with my biological family, even though my adoptive family is my family that I love very much

Its your journey to self.. It’s a journey you have an absolute right to be on..
