hey beth. im also an adoptee. ill be 21 in just under 3 weeks and finally be able to start seaching for my bmom. my parents were completely open with me about my adoption. for the most part. my mom wouldnt give me any paper work but ive always known. my birthmother was young and i know nothing of my birthfather. but i have to agree with the few that say honesty is the best policy. i believe that when my birthmother put me up for adoption she was doing the right thing regardless of the situation becuase she wasnt ready. she gave me a chance to have a wonderful family. a mom and a dad and i believe that they will always be my mom and dad because they rasied me and showed me love. but i also have a mom and dad some where else that i love very much that gave me life. one day i hope to know them because its tough to look in the mirror and not know what my bparents look like and to wonder if we have things in common. however i love the family i was given and wouldnt trade it for the world. good luck.
