I think it's great you are doing this and I hope you find your sibling![/quote]

I disagree.  OP has no right to butt into someone else's life to satisfy her morbid curiosity.  Leave it be.  If your mother had wanted to pursue this then she would have done so.  Again, do not interfere in their life![/quote]

Wanting to know your own sibling is not “morbid curiosity”.  It is a normal human emotion.  Family is family.  A sibling relationship is one more the most important relationships someone can have.  My sister and I were separated for 45 years, but she is now one of the 5 closest relationships I have in my life.  Nothing about that is “morbid”.  It is fundamental. It is primal.  Family bonds being ripped apart by adoption is a very new phenomenon in human history.  Our current adoption industry based on profits, coercion, secrecy, and the complete erasure of a child’s original identity is less than 100 years old.  It is NOT normal.  And it is not “morbid” for people to feel a keen need to find their lost family members.  As keen as if they had been stolen, which in many families they were.  [/quote]

Funny, I grew up  with my sister.  She was  and is horrible  to  me.  Zero interest in seeing her.

Many birthparents place their kids voluntarily.  It is their choice.  You are  not getting that.  Family is more than just blood.[/quote]
