I've recently had to have research done on my birth certificate and I was told I was adopted. This is HUGE news to me! My mother has never told me. I had NO IDEA! My mom is very ill and I can't stress her out by asking and I know she would deny it anyway. Is there a way to find out for sure? How do I deal with this? I am in my 30's and found out 4 days ago this is a possibility. While searching on this website, I found my date of birth, hospital I was born in, my first and middle name and my possible birth mother's name. It is too much of a coincedence. I contemplated calling my birth mom, since she is obviously looking for me.. but I emailed her instead. I haven't heard anything, but I will give it time. She hasn't posted anything I could find since 2000. Her phone number is unlisted. Can someone help with some confusing questions I have? I was born in Michigan in 1971 and I think my birth mother lives in Florida. Looks like she's been searching a while and I had no idea.
