Question

Has anyone who has been adopted met their biological parents or mother? What was your outcome in the end?

Answer 1

My brother was adopted. My parents consider him their biological son, and he's just as annoying like any other brother would be I see no difference. I say we do away with biological and adoptive parents! My parents know who my brother's birth accountants are (That's what I call his biological parents), and they tell him if he ever wants to know who they are they wont hesitate to tell him, but so far he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't care.

Answer 2

really, biological parents can be very overrated.  

Answer 3

I have a unique situation, I was adopted and found both birth parents.  Also, I gave up a child for adoption when he was born and he came and found me when he was 21.  When I met my birth parents, I had a vision in my head of what they would be like and that some "magical" bond would be there that I thought I was missing.  The truth is, you are strangers.  You may look and sometimes act like them, and in my situation, we even had the same occupation, but that was it.  They are not rich millionaires or any other type of made up vision you may have (that was mine).  Who I am is due to the parents that raised me.  It took meeting my birth parents to realize how much my adopted parents meant to me.  I would encourage you to meet them to put any questions you have to rest--especially medical questions.   I don't talk to them anymore.  There were too many differences between us.  When my son came to find me, I knew what to expect since I had already been through it.  Although it was very nice to meet him and know that he is happy, I knew it wouldn't be a lasting relationship.  I still send him birthday cards and Christmas cards, but he never calls anymore and that's ok.  I know he's happy and healthy and had a great family that raised him.  So in a nutshell, go ahead and meet them, just don't expect too much in the beginning.  Relationships take a lot of time.
