[quote=Anonymous]I don't want to give away too many details, so please bear with me.

The short story is that my sister and I were adopted internationally.  We have a chance to publicize our search for our birth family through one of our homeland's national broadcasting companies, as we've been approached by said company to make a documentary.  I know other adoptees for whom this strategy has worked and the benefits of participating are well known.

The problem is that my sister refuses to participate as she doesn't want to search in such a public manner (also has job-related concerns because she works in national security) and she's a very private person in general.  The broadcasting company won't make the documentary without her since the whole point is that it's compelling because we're twins.  Neither side will budge and I feel my chances of finding my birth parents slipping away (I've been searching for years and searching is pretty difficult there).

This chance is one of the things I want most in life and I can't change anyone's mind.  How can I make peace in letting this go?[/quote]
