Just turned 18 and thinking of looking.
Hello,
My name is Kyle. I turned 18 in July and have been racking my brain about finding my birth mother. My b-grandmother and my b-mom's pshycologist (she sought help at the time of adoption) both contacted my (adoptive) father and informed him my b-mom just recovered from a fatal bout with Acute Respritory Distress Syndrome. Because of this contact, I have my b-grandmother's home phone and everyday I think about picking up the phone and calling. I am a little scared but know I should do it.
At the risk of recieving a few cliche responses, I was wondering if anyone could comment on the matter. The majority of the stories I have read on these boards have been older people who have already started families and are finding their b-parent(s) much later in their life. Any advice for a younger (although I am emotionaly prepared) seeker?
