[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who learned about my half-sister. My only purpose in writing was to alert OP that there could be people who find out things that were in the dark, and my experience with that. Maybe my post sounded selfish, I was writing about this one instance in my life. I understand how traumatic the adoption was for my mother...my heart broke for her when she told me what happened. She provided a few details about that time in her life and I cannot imagine having to make the choices she did. My parents aren't awful people...as I've gotten older I can see how they both have some FOO issues and how those issues have led to a severe avoidance of conflict and change. I agree with some PP how my mom (and dad) could benefit from therapy but after making many overtures regarding that over the years, I accept that will not ever happen. I love my parents, they were making the best decisions they could at the time with the information they had, just like most of us are. And while I am in a much better place than I was a couple of years ago, what happened still stings occasionally. The plus is I now have someone new in my life I am slowly getting to know.

This thread has given a lot for me to think about, thank you.[/quote]
