[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is not a bad person for not being receptive when her biological daughter first reached out to her.  But from her second post, it does seem like she is not necessarily in a place to be understanding of and receptive to how her daughter may be feeling now (note, may be, because we don't know how she feels).  If she isn't able to accept and understand that her daughter may possibly feel differently than she is expecting, and to respond to those feelings with understanding and empathy, it may be better to work on this before reaching out.  Sure, it is entirely possible that her daughter may feel exactly as she hopes and expects, but there is no way for her to know this.  
It would probably be a good idea for OP to talk to someone at the resources that posters have suggested to help her identify whether she is ready to interact with her biological daughter, and accept and react appropriately to the woman's response, whatever it winds up being.[/quote]
