It is scary to wonder about what the reaction may be from your birthparents, but I say "nothing ventured, nothing gained." It will definitely bring up a lot of emotions, for them as well as you, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I had a semi-open adoption with my son, but when he gave consent to have a package sent to me with all his identifying info, I was thrilled and excited, but I will also admit, I was terrified and had a lot of unexpected emotions come up. I worked through them with the help of counseling, and talking to other birthmothers. We are not yet in reunion, but I hope we will be at some point.
