[quote=Anonymous]Just to put it out there: My aunt was adopted in a closed adoption and, after my Grandma died, went searching for her birth family. For her, it worked out wonderfully. It turned out her birth mom was looking for her too, but looking in Canada  (where she was from/put my aunt up for adoption) rather than in the US (where my Grandparents were actually from). (My Grandpa was military and adopted my aunt while stationed in Canada.) Anyway, my aunts birth parents were very young when they had her (15), but actually stayed together and got married 8 years later and it turned out she had 5 full birth siblings! She never got to meet her father, unfortunately, as he had died several years earlier, but she had a big happy reunion with everyone else. All of this made possible by 23andme and an email sent to an apparent sibling (who she actually initially assumed was als adopted, because she knew nothing about the circumstances of her birth). In any case, just wanted to say that sometimes it ends well. We actually had a big joint immediate families of my aunt reunion a few years ago.[/quote]
