Hi Melissa,
I am 25 and have been searching for my birth family for 4years. I wish i had started searching sooner.
I sometimes wonder the same as you, but in reverse...how would my birth mother feel about me searching? I am petrified that she won't want to know me as i feel that if she did she would have found me by now.
I can't speak for your son, but as an adoptee I am very curious to know where i come from, my birth family's history and whether or not i look like any of them.
I think you should continue looking, just tread carefully as he is still young. I knew from day dot that i was adopted, but he may not and this could come as a huge shock.
Best of luck with your search sweetie!!
Cassandra xx
