Wow. I can't believe your daughter was never told! I always thought keeping an adoption secret was from the old days way back when, but especially since the agreement they made was to tell your daughter she was adopted, how could they not? They have ultimately done your daughter such a disservace by not raising her to know the truth about her own life. I'm sorry you are going through this and I'm sorry for your daughter, too. And this is just my personal opinion, but it doesn't sound to me like your daughter's mom is planning to tell her any time soon. If she couldn't find the right time in 18 years, it's only going to be harder now. My guess is, she'd rather keep it secret and she can always find one excuse or another for NOT telling her, i.e. "18 is such a hard age, she's still in school, she has enough drama in her life, etc." I get the feeling amom is stringing you along for now.
