No, I would not be and am not friends with my child's other parents. I relinquished in the era of closed adoption and was given no real information about my son's adoptive parents, who were selected by the agency. I found out in reunion that my son's adoptive mother was very fearful of me and that is why she refused to give me a picture of my son, which the agency had offered to me when he was several months old. Therefore, for 20 years, the only thing I truly knew about my son's adoptive parents was that they had a hard heart toward me for some unknown reason. I had no idea they were fearful of my existence and my potential power to take my son back because they had lied on the home study, thereby committing fraud, in my opinion.
When my son found me, I came to his adoptive family with an open, loving and forgiving heart. In turn, they lied to me and manipulated me. I am truly shocked and saddened by their ethics, their actions and the way that they raised my son. I could never be friends with such people, especially because they continue to justify their actions and completely fail to understand why their behavior is wrong.
This situation makes me very sad, because I would really like for all of us to be able to work together for the sake of my child.
