Hi..I'm a 37 year old adoptee who found my birthmother last May..and my adoptive father was always against me searching for my birthfamily...when I told him that I had found her and she was not the person I expected her to be all the years..his answer was "I'm soooo sorry, this is not the hurt and pain that I wanted for you...I loved you so much that I wanted to protect you"....but you know what, I wouldn't change my searching efforts for a minute...because this is something I had to do for me...at least now, I know a few more things about my birthfamily than I did before I searched!! I hope you will find peace in your searching....maybe you shouldn't tell your adoptive mom when you begin searching if it's only going to cause a rift...Hugs, Brenda
