I am in the unique position of being both an adoptive mother AND a birthmother. My son found me using a CI. And it's a great thing for both of us. His mom didn't want him to search either and he found and met me before he told her. And she was hurt, but she accepted it. His parents and I have met and it was a little awkward at first, but we see them quite often now as we share grandchildren.
I'm also the mother of two adopted children. I would never dream of telling them not to search. That is their right and I would like to be supportive. I see how important it was to my son to find me and it's an experience like no other. Please don't let your mom's feeling stand in the way of your searching.
