My dad was adopted. To him, his adoptive parents were his parents, full stop. They also adopted a girl (not my dad's bio sister).

He was never interested in finding out much about his birth family -- maybe out of pain, but I think mostly out of a sense of loyalty. A couple of years ago, my mom convinced him to do the Ancestry testing and he was able to determine who his birth mother was, but not his birth father (although it is one of 3 brothers for sure--long story).

A nephew of my bio grandmother connected with mom and she got a lot of info, but  my dad wasn't interested in connecting.

My dad was a pretty private, reserved guy,  but he wasn't abusive, never had substance abuse issues, and lived a pretty normal life/

A friend my age found her bio family a few years ago. They want on to have two more children after her (it was actually one of them who got in touch with her first). I'm sure that was difficult to learn, but she too is still very loyal to the parents her raised her. She does keep in touch with her bio family and visits them from time to time. She's married with two kids, no obvious troubles in her life.
