[quote=Anonymous]My cousin found her birth mother and got dragged into a nasty situation.  The birth mother was still an addict when she found her, but she didn't know this initially.  The mother's boyfriend, also an addict, saw that my cousin had lived a pretty good, privileged life and threatened her.  Kind of along the lines of, if you don't give us $$, we'll hurt your family type of threats.  She had to get the police involved and both got arrested.  Then the birth mother's other kids showed up and started harassing my cousin for having their mom arrested.  In person harassing, like showing up at her house, and online as well.  All any of them wanted was $$ from her.  She even had people contacting her on Facebook with messages like, "hey, I heard you're Larla's daughter.  You know she owes me $400 right?" and she was pretty terrified for about a year after she found her birth mother.

She really regrets finding her birth mother now.  She has three adopted kids of her own (two open, 1 closed) and she's pretty terrified that the one who was a closed adoption will want to start looking when she turns 18 and will find something kind of along the lines of what she found.  [/quote]
