yes, I have seen (just a second ago) saracats post. I will review again. I think an additional challenge that goes unnoticed and unspoken about with the reunions is that it is not just the natural parents and their child. In many cases, there are spouses, other children, etc. that are also effected. While there can be support. books, etc. for the natural parents and the adoptee, there is little resources for the spouses (who also have many emotional feelings). I am sure most spouses want to be supportive, but its very hard not to be threatended, fearful of someone who came before you and your children. I cannot tell you how many conversations my husband and I have had this topic.
