I just reunited with my son after 16 yrs of not seeing him. I have found out that the people who adopted him were at one time very good friends of my family. I also found out that in the state im from that all adoption done after 1987 are open and my son was placed in 1992. I never had the opportunity to have contact. I wish more adoptive parents made the attempts that you have. My son was abused in his ahome by his a father. He has no use for his amom. His life was so bad that he turned to drugs, alcohol and crime, he spent his 21st birthday in jail. Yet they thought it was in his best interest for me not to have contact with him. Boy they sure did a cracker jack job of raising him, and they are christians too. I am so angry at them for doing this to him and I just want to scream at them, yet I dont know what to do. I guess for now I will just love him with all my heart and that will be my ultimate revenge. Good luck and thanks for letting me vent.
