I truly believe you did the right thing. I think everyone's story is different and in some cases it would be perfectly fine to tell aparents about our search and in others not. In my own case, I had told my aparents years ago that I was searching. They didn't say anything to me but told others that they were not happy and were confused by my need to search. I wish the lines of communication had been such that we could have talked more about it.
Years later when my search was nearing its end, my amom had Alzheimer's, my adad dementia and physical illness. What purpose would it have served to tell them? None as far as I can see as they were not in a place mentally where they could have understood.
Had things been different and if they had been healthy I know they would have loved my bfamily as much as I do. They were just those kind of people. But it was too late.
