[quote=Anonymous]A few weeks ago, I got sucked into binge watching a show Long Lost Family, which is all about exactly this...adoptees searching for their birth parents and vice versus. Sometimes they find people exactly the way OP's sister did by searching DNA databases and looking for extended family members and contacting them to ask if they had a sister/daughter/etc who gave up baby for adoption in X place in X year. From watching the show, one thing that struck me is how often there is so much pain on both sides even for the people who grew up in happy families. It's given me a new perspective an adoption for sure. I don't think your sister did anything wrong. She asked and got a response and now needs to accept the outcome, however painful it may be. In a society like ours with DNA databases, "closed" adoptions can no longer be guaranteed.[/quote]
