[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger brother was given up for adoption. My mother always updated the agency when we moved so he could find her. We were not allowed to look for him but from a young age I always knew he would find us. He later told us he began contacting the agency as early as 16. He really needed to know. However, he has always put his adopted family first. He has a sister was also adopted and she has never cared to look for her birth parents.

Meeting him was the happiest day of my life. It meant so much to see and touch him. I missed him so much. I love every email and phone call. I think he's even more excited than our mom that I have a baby on the way. [/quote]

That's a very sweet story.  I adopted internationally, so they are closed adoptions.  But, I gathered all information I could about birthparents and everyone who was involved in my kids' adoptions.  I also became Facebook friends with people who facilitated the adoptions.  I am trying to preserve what contacts and information I have so that if they decide to contact their birth families they will at least have a starting place.  None of mine have shown an interest yet.  But, at least one of mine has biological siblings and I imagine that will create a strong pull someday.  [/quote]
