I have two great adopted children from the olden days when adoptions were closed. I always ached for the birth Mothers and wondered about how they were coping. With my full support, my daughter found her birth Mother when she was 30. It was very important to her for many reasons as it would be for me if I was adopted. She has become a great comfort to my/her daughter and we have so enjoyed welcoming her to the family. She told us stories of the pain of her young life during and after the process of giving up her baby daughter.It still brings tears to my eyes.
Her birth Mom has two other young adult kids who are bi-racial (my daughter is Caucasian) who share many features and characteristics with my daughter. They are all delightful and I love spending time with them.
My adult son has no interest in finding his birth family, even though I have always left that door wide open. It is his life and none of my business now. Yet I wonder......
