[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you feel if your child found their birth mom and decided to meet? Going through this now with my adopted late 20's DD and have a variety of emotions going on, including feeling insulted as this other woman gave her up for adoption while I raised her.[/quote] We all understand now in this generation that these children are their own people, with their own genetic and ethnic identity- related to other people, not you. Not anyone in your family. You raised her, but at some point you had to have come to grips that she was not related to you. This is not only her story that you do not own, but her future kid's stories, etc. That being said, when she finds her relatives, they really won't be family. It just doesn't work that way. She just wants to know where she came from, and why. This is a human right. [/quote]
