Quote: My aparents wanted me to search for years. This is solemy my opinion but as an adult, I don't think they have any place in the search unless invited. (and I love my parents dearly) Now that reunion has taken place, they are free to have whatever type of relationship they...

Hi portlowski, It's natural to feel nervous - I certainly did even on my second visit. Will anyone from the adoption agency go with you? If you can, I'd highly recommend that you have someone whom you trust (eg. a friend) to go with you if no one from the adoption agency will go. I found that...

WarEagle, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly hope that your bmom responds soon and is open to exploring some sort of relationship with you. I have been in reunion with my birth son for 4 years and it's been good for both of us. I hope you can experience the same thing.

What wonderful news - thank you for sharing it with us! Reunions, especially those involving young adults/teenagers, always go so much smoother when adoptive parents are onboard and supportive. I know some people disagree with me on this subject, but I believe the relationship with my son is as...

He helped set up the adoption, Adoption was handled by lawyers, resulting with a top...

But I don't know if it was Bailey, or something like that. It could have been anything. But I'm fairly sure her first name wasn't Admiral.

Thanks for the response, Brandy - I didn't think to include that because I know she was born here, but I guess no one else would know that, heh. She was born and adopted here in New York State as well.

well I am writing this with a little hope in my heart although with the huge fear that nobody will read it. I think its more for the reason that at least i knw im doing something instead of just waiting which seems not only pointless but unlikely of an answer. I was adopted at i think a week or so...

Seems like I only do this every couple of years but here I am again and I'm still looking. I took some preliminary steps last year by contacting an agency to help me find my birth mother but the cost at the time was just too prohibitive. I still want to find my birth parents, however, so I'd love...
