I have recently met a bhalf-sister and feel greatful that I was placed for adoption by bmom 10 years before bhalf-sister was born. I had wonderful aparents who were loving, caring people who provided opportunities for me that I might not have had otherwise. I never searched for bfamily until after my aparents passed away - my adad was 93 and my amom was 95. I sought bmom to get health info - never really intending to meet her. I made indirect contact via a bcousin who took my emails to her. She provided health info and said she did not wish contact, which did not upset me. I am now awaiting the name of my bfather so I can receive health info from that side. I have met other memebers of my bfamily - very warm and welcoming people who feel I should be able to have access to all info available. (P.S. - My bmom passed away a year after I made indirect contact) so I am glad I searched when I did.
