Oh, I cannot begin to imagine the emotional turmoil you must be going through right now -- you must feel like your whole world has been turned upside down. And everything is happening so very fast for you. There have been other adoptees on these forums who find out later in life that they were adopted. My parents told me early on that I was adopted, so I can't fully understand the shock to suddenly make that discovery. However, your mom probably thought she was doing the right thing for you, and considering her health, you are right in not asking her any questions at this time.
Hopefully you will make contact with the woman who may be your birthmother, and many of your questions will be answered. If you can't reach her with the email address, maybe you could post again and ask for help in locating her. Also, please don't hesitate to post again with any questions or if you need emotional support. Please give yourself time to come to terms with the fact that you may be adopted; take it slow. The truth will reveal itself.
I'm not sure what else you can do in the state of Michigan to access your birth records. Hopefully you'll be matched with the birthmother who is looking for a baby born on your b-day in the same hospital, and you will feel and see a connection. And there's always the option of DNA testing.
Take care -- wishing you peace.
