[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry for you and your daughter and am in a similar situation with my son wanting to reach out to his birth mother. He is not legal age yet and from a different country that has different societal views but I would highly suggest that your daughter gets counseling before going this route. I have found with our experience, my son views the birth family as this magical second family that will be just like him and answer all of his questions. We have had to tread very lightly but the reality is that they could be what he wants or they could flat out reject him, causing so much more damage. Adoptees have to be ready for that reality, unfortunately - and also understand that it isn't the birth mother's fault. I am not sure I would be "big" enough to handle that blow so hurt for those who have to make the decision to take the risk. Again, I am sorry and I hope you and your daughter find peace in whatever you choose.[/quote]
