In my search on the Internet for case stories, articles, information on the many reasons why birthmothers feel the way they do about reunion, for or against, I ran across this excellent article. http://www.geocities.com/beba_online...my_mother.html

It may answer the questions adoptees have as to why their birthmother is not open to reunion. It may not resolve the adoptees emotional hurt/anger at being rejected a second time, but possibly give the adoptee an insight into the birthmother's emotional confusion and shock of being found. As a natural mother who is in reunion, who has asked her self a million times since that terrible day, why did I do that? But only coming up with the reasons I was force-fed by the adoption agency, doctor and nurses. This article gave me much more to think about and gave some order/clarity to my many distorted and confused thoughts of that time in the past.

And to any adoptee who may be reading this post, in my heart, I believe you have never been forgotten, have faith and above all, have patience. What is meant to be , will be.
