[quote=Anonymous][quote]It was an "open" adoption and I happen to know she went to a very well-off family and had a privileged upbringing, had a brother, went to a gorgeous university, etc. Her parents were very loving and grateful and i can't imagine she really felt THAT rejected. [/quote] OP, I am glad you decided to make contact by means of a medium other than Facebook. I hope the contact goes well. It sounds like you are going into this with the expectation that your adopted child had a terrific life. While that may be the case, it is probably better to go into it without expectations - this isn't to say that she necessarily felt rejected, or that the source of any potential unhappiness was the adoption (for example, it is theoretically possible that she's just a depressed person etc.). My point is, things will probably go better if you initiate the contact with a blank slate in terms of expectations about how this woman feels about her own life and upbringing.[/quote]
