MARDEBJS, I have to agree with your reply post from the other members...I am a first mom waiting to find my twin sons, 22yrs.old now. So I do understand your plight and how anxious this must make you feel, after all you have waited an eternity, or so it feels. I can only offer my opinion on the basis of my own journey and what I would like to think I would be able to handle. If and when I find my sons, I will most

definately contact their parents, and most definately will wait until they think my sons are ready. I know this will be hard ,but knowing they are safe healthy and happy is enough for that time being, whenever it comes. After all they are the parents that raised their child(and yours) and should make those type of choices since they are the ones whom know your daughter best. 18 is still a very young age and does not mean one is ready just because. I will stop my rant and say...I wish you many blessings and hugs, for I know this cannot be easy. Try to be patient, after all you have waited this long....GOD BLESS in your journey...and have faith!
