Well, I didn't search but I thought I would weigh in here. I was found at age 26. I always knew I would search "someday" which would have probably been around now, at age 33. I was too busy trying to "establish" myself in my career, etc., in my 20's. I lived in "ignorant bliss" most of my life, wanted to know, but would've had to overcome the fear of hurting my family....
Nancy, I can't believe how you were told. OMG! I feel for you.
Donna, you know I've struggled with relationship w/bmom, so I haven't pursued relationship w/bdad, although he wants to meet. He has a daughter, my 1/2 sis that I haven't corresponded with yet either. At some point I do want to meet him, not sure if I'll pursue a relationship -- I know what you mean about having the energy for all the drama
Sally, why doesn't it surprise me that you started looking at age 11 !@:? hee, hee
